Hello DJ,

I would like to help with V2.0 development as far as my
capabilities (time and knowledge) allow me.

Three observations concerning 'src200.zip':

(1) During the making of 'stubedit.exe' a new version of
    'crt0.o' is created. This new 'crt0.o' is then used 
    when linking 'stubedit.exe' which I think is not meant 
    that way (yet). See below for details.
    I renamed the new 'crt0.o' to 'crt0_200.o' in the makefile,
    and reinstalled 'crt0.o' from dj111m3.zip.

(2) _go32_dpmi_exception_setup() and npxsetup() seem to be 
    missing, but I understand that V2.0 is under development.

(3) With supplied dummies for the two routines in (2) the sample
    program 'sample.c' only outputs some newlines, i.e. printf()
    doesn't show the arguments given to the program 'sample.exe'.
    (I have a Dell PC with S3 graphics)

Perhaps the above observations are caused by my lack of knowledge
of V2.0 essentials. If you can help me on these I would like to hear.
Meanwhile, I'll try to get a better grasp of what V2.0 is offering
already now.

My compliments for the 'djasm' program!
(We don't need to be afraid of the Borland no-nonsense licence anymore!)

Regards,
