I put the following forth for an associate:
Is there any compiler available under MS-DOS that will produce a file
that is suitable for EPROMming? The environment is:
* Program development on MS-DOS, using all of it's glorious tools.
* Program execution on STD-bus 808X/80188 CPU's, with the application program
EPROMmed. The STD-bus computer is used in process monitoring/control.
Currently they are using Z80 CPU's on STD-bus with CPM as the development
environment.
BASIC (UGH!) is their preferred language, although I think it would be neat
if they could only get EPROMmable "C" !
PLEASE SEND ME EMAIL IF YOU KNOW OF ANY SOLUTIONS ! THEY ARE DESPERATE !

I mailed this and decided maybe it would be of interest. The only compiler I am aware of that is EPROMable is Aztec C. They use it for that very same purpose where I work. miek

I have used Desmet C and Turbo C. All you have to do is write a simple loader type program that places a startup routine at high memory. I don't remember all addresses, but it must load the code segment address etc. You also need to re-write the startup routines for each. These simply set up the stack segment, code segment, extra segment, and stack pointer to point to wherever you want them in ram. If you are going to be doing memory allocation, you need to also set up the bottom and top of the heap. There are some routines in Turbo C that save variables in the code segment though, so be careful. The only one I have run into so far is malloc. I wrote my own version and it works fine. I have yet to find any problem at all with Desmet C using the code segment for data storage. I suspect the Borland programmers were just lazy or some such thing. If a novice programmer like me can write code correctly, they should be able to.
