Check again. This time a) read the contents of that page and b) wait 15 seconds. Then look at the first hit. On that first hit you'll find a HUGE clue about gas and Windows.<BR>

Or you could, you know, just download the binutils part of MinGW (I leave finding this as an exercise for the student, but also leave the hint that it's a very simple exercise), copy "as.exe" and "ld.exe" and distribute those. A quick check with strings and grep gives me this:<BR>
<BR>
$ strings as.exe | grep -i dll<BR>
$dlL<BR>
fildll<BR>
DllCharacteristics %08x<BR>
vma: Hint Time Forward DLL First<BR>
DLL Name: %s<BR>
KERNEL32.dll<BR>
msvcrt.dll<BR>
msvcrt.dll<BR>
<BR>
I think they're standalone. Of course you could just <B>try</B> instead of asserting loudly, couldn't you? Or is that not done in the "real world" you keep spouting off about?<BR>
