I modified the `collect' program distributed with g++ to accept COFF files. You need to specify -DNO_GNU_LD when you compile g++ & also compile collect. However, this doesn't give you sufficient debugging information -- the -g option is a little flakey & gdb won't grok the g++ constructs. I debug things on a Sun & then run them on the Encore. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
