Yes, fortify should work with DJGPP without need for any major tweaking if
I recall correctly. And I also think it is freeware.

But I would really recommend using a library called MSS (which I and
another guy is developing). However the current public release is only for
C++ and it isn't all that great, so at the present time I guess Fortify is
your best choice. However, I completely rewrote MSS, and Juanje the other
guy who originally wrote it is just about to start to look into it, so it
will probably be released soon, so keep your eyes out for that.

Where to get fortify... Geez, I can't seem to find that link. But search
the web for it, and I'm sure you'll find it!


>I have Palantir (v 0.3 I think), but from what I hear Fortify may be better

Is Palantir a memory watchdog!? Then maybe we're not talking about the same
thing here, I thought Palantir was some kind of multitasking kernel!?
