> Has anyone ever got TCXl by IDC to work with DJGPP?

- I am currently in the process of trying to do just that at the
  moment. Realize, though, that TCXL (from Innovative Data
  Corporation) is a copyrighted non-freeware package. (They did
  release the "small" model versions as shareware some years ago).

At one time, TCXL Chip Rabinowitz did release a Unix version -- but I
never acquired that. Instead, I purchased the MS-DOS library complete
with source code. All of the C components compiles perfectly but the
ASM modules are a bit of a problem. I'm slowly working on transforming
these to AT&T-style syntax. All of the trivial functions doing direct
hardware addressing that I've tackled thus far do perform just fine.

BTW, it has been years since I've contacted IDC (last located in
Hatboro, PA). Does anyone know if they are they still in business?
I've been _extremely_ pleased with their libraries and have had no need
to upgrade or complain -- hence the lack of contact.
