Who said anything about getting StormC? That would be stupid.
I just said GET THE SOURCE DIFFERENCES AND COMPILE THEM WITh
THE GCC YOU ALREADY HAVE.

With just gcc, you'd HAVE to use a texteditor and a proper makefile.
Why must people agree with me in such an opposing tone? It's quite
disconcerting :)

My experience with the GeekGadgets 68k is that it tends to nuke
ixemul if you do more than simple tasks. A week of f**king around
trying to make dependencies and rebooting, and starting again,
and rebooting, and then screaming.. :)

H&P's version might be more stable (it doesn't use ixemul for a
start) but you first.. have.. to.. compile.. it! (Nooooo!!!)

SAS/C forever ;)
