Question:
How can I use the Microsoft C Compiler to produce code that will be
put into ROM?
Response:
The best way is to use a third-party package designed to produce
ROMable code using Microsoft C. The linker supplied with our compiler
only produces code designed to run under the DOS and OS/2
environments. CodeView only runs under DOS or OS/2. Third-party
packages typically include an alternate linker and debugger.
You can find out more about these third-party packages by obtaining a
copy of a technically oriented PC magazine or by talking with a dealer
who sells such packages. Microsoft also provides an application note
called "Writing ROMable Code in Microsoft C," which can be obtained
from Microsoft Product Support Services by calling (206) 454-2030.
