Hi, Minixers,

earlier this week I posted that CvW's c386 doesn't compile
correctly with bcc and suspected a bug in bcc. 

Bruce Evans found the bug, but NOT in bcc, but in c386. The
problem was that c386 assumes that char is signed (as in most
compilers), but bcc uses unsigned chars. Changing a line ``char
reg'' to ``int reg'' in expr.h solves the problem. 

Now that c386 seems to be working correctly, the only problem
that remains, is, that c386 produces output for the sun assemler
and and not for Bruce's as or gas. Is anybody working on this
problem (Christoph -- now that you are buying a 386) ? If not, I
will do it.

Regards, 
	Peter.
