I don't know what the people who know what they're doing do about this, but
I located the 'c32.lib' on "Aztec C68K  3.20a  Disk 2" in the "lib" directory.
So when I get a source that has Intuition calls involving 32-bit pointers, I
boot up with "Aztec C68K  3.20a  2/27/86" (Disk 1, really) in df0: , and my
source disk in df1: (with the cd in the appropriate df1: directory), do the
compile with
        cc snarf.c +L           , then pick up the linker with
	Copy df0:c/ln to Ram:ln , 
then    Assign SYS: "Aztec C68K  3.20a  Disk 2:"

Whereupon AmigaDOS will get suspicious about what I'm up to, will began to
wonder whether I really have Disk 2, and will ask to see it by posting a
requester requiring me to put the disk in any drive.  I put it in df0:
As soon as AmigaDOS is satisfied, I then do the actual link with the command:

	Ram:ln snarf.o -lc32 -o snarf , or if it's floating point code, I use:
	Ram:ln snarf.o -lm32 -lc32 -o snarf , tell it to look for mathlibs 1st.

I have, incidently, had weird results with the Manx floating point, so I may
be doing the latter one wrong.  But I find that if I put the c32 lib first,
the program usually hails the Guru outright on invocation.  Hope this helps.
