Yes, it is. In some cases, you want to compare the behaviour of different versions to each other. Or you want to install the newest version, but as you do not know if it has new bugs, you want to keep your "working good" one. Having worked with WinDBG, which does not allow for this, it is really annoying. Interestingly, WinDBG itself is able to be installed side-by-side. It does not even need any setting in the registry or anywhere else. You can even have it install without administrator privileges. Unfortunately, the installer does not allow all of thes. So, the only possiblitiy to install it without admin, or side-by-side, is to do the following: Install WindBG on another system and copy the resulting directory to your working machine.

Please allow for not adding the cc65 directories to the path. Often, this is not needed. > Anything else? Another thing: Please, allow anyone who wants to install cc65 to do so without the installer - that is, make it optional, not mandatory. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
