Though there are some small problems, it works quite well with both the product C compiler and with MetaWare's High C. Last summer, I tried to compile version 1.5 with gcc 1.37.0 but could not get the system to work; after replacing somewhere around a dozen gcc compiled binaries with High C compiled binaries, I gave up. Things might well be a good bit better wtih gcc 1.39.x. I probably won't try this because I don't want to take the time to build gcc. Later this afternoon, I'll post comments about the problems with the PS/2 version. Dick
