Remember that bcc is not a good compiler by modern standards (it's an ancient K&R C compiler with an ANSI prototype acceptance routine available and that performs limited optimizations) and it won't inline the function like gcc would, it'll just add bloat. pcc for 8086 is an ANSI compiler and partly done. It needs chunks of further work, but if anyone likes fiddling with mostly table driven compilers and has a bit of time.... It even uses dev86 as the assembler/linker backend. Alan
