Right.  That code was originally written for Mark Williams C, which does
things slightly differently (different header files, different struct
layouts, stuff like that).  It does require some modification for HSC.
I'll mail you some diffs.

MiNTlibs are similar to the Unix libraries, so if you have access to a
Unix system, you can check the man pages there.

Good luck!
