Hi !

After having (tried to) work with codewarrior, I have given up 
on it. Now, I have done some work with GCC for DOS, but I like the 
extra flexibility that Linux tools give me. I know it is possible 
to configure GCC as a cross compiler, and with the documentation 
of the siocons protocol, an upload utility shouldnt be that hard. 
Before I try to invent the wheel again, is there someone working 
with Linux to program for the yaroze yet ? Could you give me some
hints on how to set it up ? 

Furthermore, I have been looking on some of the yaroze executable code
generated by the GCC compiler for DOS, and it looks like there is a lot
of garbage in the files, just look at it with a hex editor, there is all
sorts of readable ASCII strings in there, that look like they have
nothing to do with the executable ! Anyone have more info about the
yaroze executable format, it is certainly no PS-X exe format, so how
could I use the 'exec' call to start another yaroze binary file ?

Questions, questions .. I know .. I've been working on other things,
and now I finally have some time to play with my yaroze again :)
