Then when you do 'build' it calls the makefile which calls the external compiler and builds your ps exe. Use siocons for uploading and you can forget CodeWarrior (hurrah). Of course the debugger doesnt work, not sure about the browsers. I havent actually tried this but it works with my TI compilers. I seem to remember someone working on their own windows IDE for yaroze. Also there is something called 'blue gnu' for cygnus-release gcc on win32. That might work too. see ya Graeme
