Hi all,

In case some of you missed my posts recently, Eberhard Mattes and I have
managed to work out all the bugs related to his EMXAOUT object file
converter (actually he fixed the major ones; I just got it to compile with
Watcom C++ ;-).

This converter will allow you to convert any assembler object modules
created with either MASM or TASM to COFF .o files that you can link
directly with DJGPP. We have used this tool extensively to fully port all
our MGL graphics library code to successfully run under DJGPP.

Note also that all the source code is provided (GNU copylefted) and you can
built it with GCC under Linux/FreeBSD/Whatever. This does mean you could
use TASM/MASM assembler code for Unix development, if that provides a
faster path for getting DOS based high performance code to run under the
x86 Unix environments.

The latest version of the converter (that now supports iterated code and
data records thanks to Eberhard) is available on:

 ftp.scitechsoft.com: /devel/emxaout1.zip

Regards,
