By all means, enjoy your nostalgia but originally you were arguing from generalities, and that is what I responded to.

Regarding SuperCharge source code, to get back on topic, I posted what I thought was an apposite piece of information above, but that apparently evoked zero interest, so I have nothing further I wish to add.

I thought it was interesting, but I've also nothing to add. As far as I know Turbo is in every aspect better than SuperCharge, so developing the latter further is probably not time well spent. I'm connected with Simon on Facebook, so it's not exactly impossible to reach him if one wants to ask for something like the source code If he still has it in any accessible format, that is.

Agreed.

I would find it interesting, especially since there also is the theoretical paper to help to get a better overview of the workings of the code.

Yes I think it is. I think somewhere in the manual is says that if you are compiling a large program that won't fit on the screen, it will create an intermediate file instead.

Speaking as someone facinated by compilers (and emulators), I'd like to see the SuperCharge source code. Just for a bedtime read you understand!

It would be interesting to see what changes were made to the inner working nd how different it is to Turbo.

Chers,
