I already use ver 4.2b for a few weeks now under Windows XP x86. I try to tinker around with some 1990 source code. I'm not a C programmer, but I think, Aztec C86 is quite complete.

This PDF lacks a table of contents (TOC), which makes it very hard to navigate between the 747 pages.

Within the last three days I created a TOC by hand and merged it in: https://www.bttr-software.de/tmp/Aztec_C_MSDOS_4.10C_Commercial_Apr88.pdf

The TOC itself can be found here (>7,700 lines).

Format of the TOC is compatible with pdftocio: https://github.com/Krasjet/pdf.tocgen

If you spot any TOC-related errors, e.g., typos, incorrect level of headings, or incorrect page numbers, please report here.

Does anyone know, what happened to Bill Buckels? Mails to "bbuckels at mts dot net" return with "does not exist here".
