From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi@Rochester.ARPA> Good news and bbad news. DRI says they have a new release ready and will send it (to me, at least) shortly. This has been tested on the smple programs and does work. In the meantime, 2 new bugs. Declaring a static structure causes an "OBJECT FILE FORMAT ERROR 03" from the linker! Under Concurrent CP/M, sometimes the C source file gets corrupted, with what appear to be object file stuff written into it. I have not seen this yet on regular CP/M. Questions for the net: 1) John Stewart of Teledyne Geotech is using this compiler. Is anyone else out there doing so? 2) Can someone tell me how to find the definition for Intel object file format? This goes beyond the HEX format they used to use, and includes relocation and library info. It's not in the DRI manuals. 3) Do people want to hear about these problems, or should we wait until things are more settled with new releasesof the compiler, etc.?
