Hi, programmers:

Can some one point out the required steps to create a stand-alone
executable using PMODE and DJGPP v2.81 ?

I've done it before with no trouble at all with version 2.7xx, simply
getting the .out file and doing:

copy /b pmodstub.exe myprogram.out

But now when I do it and execute, the PMODE stub complains "not a COFF
file".

So far, I've run GCC in verbose mode, and I see that it always
executes STUBIFY in order to append the default stub to the program. I
thought that  I find the way to avoid this last step, I could then add
the PMODE stub, but found no way to tell GCC not to run STUBIFY.

I achieved this by simply renaming STUBIFY so GCC can't find it, but
anyway GCC produces a file which PMODSTUB doesn't like and still
complains "not a COFF file".

Any suggestions ?... the FAQ and the PMODE doc were of no help...

Thanks. Nacho.
