Hi,
I have written small addon that can be used with C++ compilers that use
gcc.exe. Please tell me if You want to test it.

Oryginaly this addon is written for DJGPP compiler, I have tested it on
"Lose98" and Dos platforms.
This is a program called GCCaddon (gcc.exe) that repleaces oryginal gcc.exe
compiler.
After installing GCCaddon, in each compilation of Yours programs, my addon
will do some
additional things described below, and then call oryginal gcc.exe compiler.
It doesn't slow compilation.

Some futures are ment to be funy, but other futures can be useful.
All futures can be individual dissabled.
* Saving in disc file how meany times project was sucesfullt build,
displaying message in compiler window, upadting special version.h file, that
You can include to Your program.
* Counting compilation, link and build time.
* Displaying sometimes funny comments in compiler window (using cerr<<)
* Playing .wav files after 3 build failures in a row, or after first build
suced after meany failures
* Displaying more statistics, like target .exe size etc.
* Fastly encrypting source files, and convert them into oryginal form only
for buiding. You can have for example one encrypted file secret.h and in
other non-encrypted files that need this secret.h to compile.
* (not implemented) small Tamagothi. It will die if You will make meany bugs
or if You wan't compile Your project often ;) Tamagothi is displaying it;s
status in message window (using cerr<<)

I think that programmers with sence of humor may like some of this futures
;-) After all tamagothi was very fameus. Statistics can alsow be usefull.

Please email me if You think, that You want to test this program.
It will be placed on my homesite in next week, *.exe, source, and
docummentation.
