We are using an HP-UX workstation with HP64000 emulators hung off the back. We have just recently broken the HP cross compiler that came with all the equipment. Soooo... We are looking for an 8086/80186 cross compiler that produces object files that can be used with the HP-UX/HP64000 emulation system. We intend on using >64k of data and >64k of code. Does anyone have experience with any such compilers? Would you care to make any recommendations? We also have a Sun 3/60 on our lan, so we could also use a product that ran on a sun. I know HP has a new cross compiler, any feed back on that would be appreciated too. thanks, maddog -------------------------------------------------------------------------- sdlfkj sdlfks sd sdf My real signature is illegible too

Being a field systems engineer and a solid HP kind of guy, I have a few questions and maybe a few comments. 1) Which compiler did you "break"? There are at least 2 compilers avail- able for the 8086 family. The older 64800-series compilers broke at the drop of a hat! The newer 64900-series compilers are nearly unbreakable! 2) Have you told anyone at HP about your problems and allowed them the opportunity to fix it? By "anyone" I mean the Response Center, your sales rep. or your local S.E. 3) If you spoke with someone, were you satisfied with the response? If you were not satisfied, you should talk to their boss or maybe John Young, or maybe even me! I have been supporting HP Logic stuff for 8 years, and I hate to hear about people looking for alternate solutions, especially when we have one of the best around. Call me!

The older compiler. I must have dropped my hat. >2) Have you told anyone at HP about your problems and allowed them the >opportunity to fix it?

Given the quiality og the older compiler in general, I didn't want to waste alot of time trying to get it to work (I just finished installing the latest update - so I ad the newest version). We have since bought the newer 64900 series compiler and this one seems to be much better (hasn't broken yet). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sdf sdoi sdfsdflkj My real signature is illegible too
