I talked to Guidelines today. Found out that it has problems due to rampent NULL dereference bugs in the Cfront original. The DOS-extended treats that as a fatal error, even though they are "harmless". Update coming soon. Also am excited about what else I heard. Guidelines comes with source for the essential library stuff, so you can use any C compiler. I'd like to try producing code for Watcom, since some of its optomizations (like passing the first parameter in a register) are particularly good for the generated code. –John
