This uses a "year length" slightly longer than the real average. Because our (time_t)0 is November 13, this brings the cutoffs for the year estimates closer to the end of the year as years pass, which reduces the number of dates for which the initial estimate is incorrect. This means that there are fewer instances where an extra factor call is required, so it should produce a slight speedup on average. If we ever move to 64-bit time_t, this fudge factor would have to be removed, since it is only valid within our 32-bit time_t range.

Libraries for the ORCA language suite (ORCA/C, ORCA/M, ORCA/Pascal) for the Apple IIGS
If you would like to make changes to this compiler and distribute them to others, feel free to submit them here. If the changes apply to the Apple IIGS, they will generally be approved for distribution on the master branch. For changes that retarget the library to generate code for a different platform, the project will either be forked or a new repository will be created, as appropriate.
The general conditions that must be met before a change is released on master are:
-
The modified library must compile under the currently released version of ORCA/M.
-
The various languages that make use of the library mush still pass their respective test suites, or changes to those test suites must also be submitted.
Contact support@byteworks.us if you need contributor access.
A complete distribution of the ORCA languages, including installers and documentation, is available from the Juiced GS store at https://juiced.gs/store/category/software/. It is distributed as part of the Opus ][ package.
