   Did you consider asking anyone at all if they were after   
   something?

   We have struggled and struggled and struggled to try to get   
   a public domain C90 compiler written in C90 to produce 386   
   assembler.   
      
   There have been a large number of talented people who tried   
   to do this and fell flat on their face. I never even tried.   
      
   The closest we have is SubC.   
      
   Is this a market gap you are able and interested in filling?   
      
   By either modifying BGBCC (and making public domain if   
   it isn't already), or using your skills to put SubC over the line?   
      
   I can only guarantee that I will recognize your work if you do   
   this, but that's potentially better than no-one at all. Also, there   
   is likely to be more than just me who appreciate having a C90   
   compiler in the public domain.   
      
   We currently use the copyrighted GCC 3.2.3 (my modification   
   of it) in order to get full C90.   
      
   There are some other targets of interest besides 386, namely   
   370, ARM32, x64, 68000. ARM64 would be good too, but   
   we don't have that at all.   
      
   8086 is another target of interest. SubC is already being used   
   to produce a bootloader for PDOS/386, but Watcom is better   
   because of SubC's primitive nature.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
