² CHECKING PROGRAMS FOR ERROR WITH TURBO C: The Borland Turbo C editor with its on-line help provides a nice environment for writing C programs for the transputer. At any time one can get the syntax definition of all ANSI-compatible functions by putting the cursor on a given reserved word and pressing the ALT-F1 key. Although Turbo C* does not support the transputer library, one can still copy the conc.h library file in the directory where the transputer programs are developed, and ask Turbo C to compile the file. It will give a quick check of the program in less time than the LS C precompiler and compiler would require. Of course Turbo C cannot generate transputer code, and eventually one will have to use the LSC compiling software.
