Running PicoC on RISC OS and RISC OS 64

I built PicoC for RISC OS, and trivially built it for RISC OS 64 as well. PicoC is an interpreter for C code. Obviously, this is limited in what it can do, but it could be useful for prototyping and performing diagnostic operations.

The recording here shows the tool building for RISC OS (regular version; the 64-bit version is already built) and then running some simple Hello World tests. Some SWI calls are made to show that the system can be used for integration with the OS.

Then the 64-bit OS is started, and the 64-bit version of PicoC is run. A similar test of printing is performed, followed by testing the error handling of SWI calls.
