    I'm looking to contact the author of DrWimpC.
    The only reference to the authors name is in one help file 'P D Miller'

    The drwimpc.co.uk domain has long since expired, so the email address is
    no longer valid.

    If P D Miller still reads these groups or anyone is still in contact with
    them, please ask them to get in touch.

    How does DrWimpC relate to Dr Wimp? I was co-opted by Jim
    Nagel at Archive Magazine to rescue the book Dr Wimp's
    Surgery but I've never heard of DrWimpC or P D Miller.

    Is it to integrate Dr Wimp's BASIC programming into
    programs written in C?

    The drwimpc.co.uk domain has long since expired, so the
    email address is no longer valid.

    I suppose that's indicative of someone who's left the scene.

    DrWimpC isn't directly related to Dr Wimp, it provides a Dr Wimp style
    library available for C programming and makes use of OSLib.

    I've come back to C programming after a long break, DrWimpC is very good indeed!

    I assume that too, but thought it was worth asking.
