I meant to reply to this and didn't - sorry for the late feedback. I'm not sure 'objasm' is a good choice because of the clash with Norcroft. Currently you can use both Norcroft C and GCC in parallel because one is 'cc' and the other 'gcc'. If you call 'as' 'objasm' then the user has to mess with paths to select the right one. Or do you feel that 'as' is now a replacement for objasm in every way? I'm afraid I don't have any bright ideas for a new name - 'gccasm' perhaps? There are very few hits for that on Google. Then the user can alias gccasm to objasm if they want that. Thanks for all your hard work (even though I don't understand some of it :) Theo _______________________________________________ GCCSDK mailing list [email protected] Bugzilla: http://www.riscos.info/bugzilla/index.cgi List Info: http://www.riscos.info/mailman/listinfo/gcc Main Page: http://www.riscos.info/index.php/GCCSDK
