I have been using version 2.03 of Small C from Simtel20 for some
time now with no difficulties.  Contrary to the above extract,
the compiler does support I/O redirection, in compiling and when
running programs generated by the compiler.  I use the LASM
version of the compiler. Using the link directive, the need to
copy the iolib.asm and call.asm files to the end of the compiler
output is unnecessary.  I also have a doc file for the compiler
that is not part of smc203.ark.
 
Redirection of i/o in Small C works as shown in the K+R book:
 
A>cc80a program.c >program.asm
 
would compile program.c to program.asm.
 
A>program <input.txt >output.txt
 
would run program.com created by Small C and LASM, with input
taken from file input.txt and output sent to file output.txt.
 
If you are interested in discussing Small C, please let me know.
