I didn't give up my attempt yet ! :)

I must admit I didn't work on my perl script since I sent you a pre-version. 
But it was already realy close to completion.

I even planned to work on it this winter, but since we didn't have news from 
you, and your CVS was down, I missed motivation. I choosed to work on ARAnyM 
GUI instead.

Well, my next free time slice is reserved for this. We should have a perl 
script able to convert Lattice assembler sources to GCC assembler format in a 
few weeks.

If somebody is interrested to work on this, I can send him my current script 
along with explanation of what is missing (a mail I send to Johan some monthes 
ago...). Candidate will need to know Perl quite well (or learn like I did while 
converting my previous Awk attemp to Perl...).


Don't hesitate to send me a note if you really want to compile fVDI with gcc. 
This will help me finding motivation. The hardest part is to dive in the script 
again...


Best regards,


Xavier
