Such a silly program is not relevant to what you spend most of your life doing with a complier, ie. writing real programs that do some work. If you try compiling a decent sized program you will find that djgpp doesn't do so badly, for example it compiles my FED text editor into an executable only 80% the size of the one Borland C produces. > [2] Can someone tell me what is wrong with the Following Program fragment [stuff snipped] > Why doesnt this Program Compile ...

Yes, o2c converts Tasm obj files to gnu coff files, although it only works (obviously) with flat model obj's. I think this is on x2ftp, or you can probably find it on DJ's web site. /* * Shawn Hargreaves. Why is 'phonetic' spelt with a ph? * Check out Allegro and FED on http://www.york.ac.uk/~slh100/ */
