Actually, as PsyQ (SDEVTC) is GNU based, I doubt that anyone copyingthe compiler itself is breaking any law at all......the librarys are a different matter of course......and I've seen the debugger that is used (Caetla) and as an assembler debugger I've got to say it's better than the serial port stuff the yaroze uses..... > Brian @ DMA Craig @ Intelligent Video Games Ltd.
