I *appears* to me now, that this may simplify changing DLD... as you just have to teach it to know how to speak COFF. I don't know if there are any docs out there on the net or not..... good luck... Oh... I got bored the other night (when I should have been studying) and I pulled some of the old djgpp list email archives off of sun.soe... I grepped the archive and found the following line: I have now put the file dld323.zip onto ftp.math.niu.edu in *beams proudly* This file is still there in /pub/msdos/djgpp.stuff/contrib This is my port of dld 3.2.3... it also includes my notes that I made while doing the port... and should (hopefully) be useful to anyone else who tries to port the package. This site started out as being a sort of mirror for djgpp.. but fizzled out... nothing has been moved out of contrib into working diretories for over a year now.. *shrug* mebbe if some kind soul wanted to take over the job... the net would be appreciative... Oh... btw... there is also a file on there (I think i put it there.. though i'm now sure) called 'gasdoc.zip'..... This is an explantation of the unix style assembler code that gas uses... .. some may find that useful :-> cheers mrc
