When I bought the OS I thought I could solve that problem getting gcc running,- no chance with 16 bit pointers. But I'v heard of i286 XEN*X-sites that use gcc. There may be a chance to cross-compile gcc (as far as I heard the limitation is only with the compiler, not the assembler) on such a machine. Has anybody thought about this or is working on it? -- Michael Lipka, Buxtehude, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------- | I04LIP@DHHDESY3.BITNET | lipka@lip.hanse.de | lipka@mcshh.hanse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------
