Would someone please try this with gcc 2.7.2 for MiNT: gcc -P -E -x assembler-with-cpp -c _normdf.cpp -o test.s Where _normdf.cpp is one of the assembler files in the MiNTlib. In the middle of the output file there is a terrible mess of \n, \t and \r characters. Please someone tell me this is nothing to worry about. :-/ Yves
