hihi. i guess i should forget the idea of running my testsuite on aztec-c too

i have checked these... basically the oric people are messing with 3 different 
compilers

- a gcc port (2.9 or such). supposedly incomplete. couldnt find source, only 
dos binaries (didnt test)
- a lcc port that generates code in a 16bit pseudo assembler syntax, which is
then translated via macros. this is what is in their "sdk" for the oric ( 
http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/public/pc/tools/osdk/main/ ). i didnt 
test this either, since due to the way it works the resulting code can only 
be bad =P this port supposedly only compiles/works under windows, and the 
maintainer recommends using wine (yuck) on other OSs
- another lcc port that supposedly outputs 6502 code in XA syntax. couldnt 
find source either, only dos binaries again. personally i would me most 
interisted in having a look at this one :)
