Ive recenty been playing with bootloaders and have made a bootloader that
works so i can load my file murrayos.bin off a floppy disk. So far ive
written small test programs in NASM to play with when it starts up, but im
useless at assembly and want to use DJGPP to do it? how do i get it to
compile into a binary file? i did read a command somewhere that tells you to
use the -c command with GCC and use LD somehow, but ive lost that page
( does anyone have this information?
any help will be much apreciated.
note: Im running DJGPP on my Windows PC and just plain GCC on my RedHat 7.1
system.I would prefere to compile on the windows machine.
  Thanks in advance.
