Hi all,

Attached is the revised (again!) version of DirectC C Layer in pdf format
[formatting courtesy of Phil McGee (Synopsys)].

The table of contents is still in ascii format and is enclosed below.

Changes:
- rewritten 3.5 'Context' and non-'context' functions
- rewritten 3.6 'Pure' functions
- more in 4.7 Canonical representation of packed arrays
- more in 5.6 Input arguments
- new 5.8 Function result
- new macros in 6.1.2
