Special copyright notes about the documentation and the library:

All information presented in the documentation are strictly mine, not by Texas Instruments (except information about GNU products, which are based on the original GNU manuals). All of TIOS-specific information in this document are result of a hours of work with the debugger. But I need to give credits to Gareth James: his informational files, although extremely briefly, help me a lot to understand some particular TIOS secrets.

The TIGCC library and documentation is absolutely free for any distribution if you don't change anything in this package. But, to give credit to my hard work, please do the following:

If you use any routine from this library in your program, put this fact in the documentation of your program;
If you use a routine in your assembly program which usage wasn't known to you before reading this documentation, put this fact in the documentation of your program.

I simply want that this documentation to become known to as many C and assembly programmers as possible.
