I didn't give up my attempt yet ! :) I must admit I didn't work on my perl script since I sent you a pre-version. But it was already realy close to completion. I even planned to work on it this winter, but since we didn't have news from you, and your CVS was down, I missed motivation. I choosed to work on ARAnyM GUI instead. Well, my next free time slice is reserved for this. We should have a perl script able to convert Lattice assembler sources to GCC assembler format in a few weeks. If somebody is interrested to work on this, I can send him my current script along with explanation of what is missing (a mail I send to Johan some monthes ago...). Candidate will need to know Perl quite well (or learn like I did while converting my previous Awk attemp to Perl...). Don't hesitate to send me a note if you really want to compile fVDI with gcc. This will help me finding motivation. The hardest part is to dive in the script again... Best regards, Xavier
