[comp.lang.c] Compilers/Tools for INTEL ROMMABLE code

tsnider@enprt.Wichita.NCR.COM (Tim Snider) (11/17/88)

We are in the process of  developing some of our embedded peripherial 
controllers in c.  I have been using the INTEL C compiler (decended from
Mark Williams Co.) and  have not been very impressed with the generated
code and execution speed.  I would like info on other compilers/linkers etc
that produce object code in INTEL OMF format  for  the  8088 family of 
processors.  I also need to be able to specify code, data, stack addresses
and  lengths  to the linker/locator.

I know that a least one company has a set of tools that converts Microsoft
object format to INTEL OMF.  Is this product worthwhile?  Any pointers to 
info on writeing non PC/ or unix programs in C would also be appreciated.
This is my first attempt to produce a controller in C using very minimal
assembley language routines,  it works but I'd like it  to be faster and
smaller.  

I'll post  results.         Thanks in advance.

I believe this  address has access to the pyramid gateway.  Let me know if
this address is rotten.
