Anyone doing this? Yes see below.... (I tryed to mail this the other day but it didnt make it) I tryed this the other night and had the same problem. I have loaned out my manual for the C compiler so I couldnt look up the command line params for the various parts. I ended up piping c.prep c.pass1 p.pass2 c.opt together to make a temp file. I then did the asm and link with temp files the same as c.com does. I have a Disto Ram disk and I was using that for all file accesses. Turns out that for a simple program (hello, world) it took 30 seconds to compile with pipes and 32 with tempfiles on ramdisk. I have decided not to fuss with the pipe version as it is not worth the effort. If you are using temps on floppy however it might be worth it. There was some code in the newsgroup a while back to make a Ram disk out of some of the high order memory. Might be worth trying.
