• The arch library:

  • A simple document describing the structure of the arch library: DVI, PostScript, PDF
    Updated 2011/03/29
  • A description of the arch library object module format may be useful if you want to build your own test programs.
  • The arch2-5a include files
  • The arch2-5a sources (a gzipped 'tar' file)
  • A header.mak file for the current version of the library (to be used with makemake)

• CS4 style standards for C++ are available in HTML, PDF, and PostScript form.
  Note these are only a guideline. For the most part, it's more important that your code be neat, clear, and (above all) consistant. We're looking for:

  • reasonable length functions
  • program file headers with your name
  • function and class headers
  • clear and consistant indentation
  • Make sure your name is on every document and file you submit!

• The VCSG720 "pub" directory
