Could we duplicate the front end of the bliss compiler for this? I feel terrible but compilers were not my thing at all.
I have written a generic letter to Oracle sales. They did develop a Windows bliss compiler. I am trying to track that down but I admit - fat chance. I've tried before.

It could output gas or nasm syntax. Compilers aren't a big deal to write. -- Veety _______________________________________________ FreeVMS mailing list [email protected] https://www.systella.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freevms _______________________________________________ FreeVMS mailing list [email protected] https://www.systella.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freevms
