I sent this to henning...  It may be of some interest to you, as it regards
fifo.library's use with Aztec 5.0a.

(I used Aztec's #pragmas, so I don't know if the assembly glue will work
correctly with Aztec's assembler/C.  I long since gave up trying to link
Amiga .o and .lib files with Aztec, despite claims in the Aztec linker
docs, so I didn't even try simply linking the provided glue, either.)

   tried both the dillon and the aux: devices, and either I am missing
   something, or they just don't compile correctly under manx 5.0)
   ...

  I have managed to use the remcli.c with Dillon's FIFO:.  It compiles,
  links, and runs, just the same as when compiled with DICE as far as I
  can see.

  I had to make some changes (and I had to generate #pragmas, plus prototype
  by hand from the .doc), but it all works.  (Manx/Aztec 5.0a)


  fifo_pragmas.h is a new file.  The other two files are provided in diff
  form (generated by the RCS diff, for what it's worth), relative to the
  fifodev2.lzh archive.
