Notes on usage

Merge Src\o2ethclc.Reg into your computer registry.
Test the work of compiler and linker using sample programs:

a) compile and link the compiler, linker and sample programs

CompileAndLink.bat

b) merge Samples\HelloCon.Reg into your computer registry

c) run programs

Samples\HelloCon.exe
Samples\HelloGUI.exe
Samples\HelloDLL.exe

d) run compiler and linker with /? switch to read brief help information.

If you have GNU Make and tr installed, then you can simply run 'make' for
compilation and linking.

Known bugs and limitations

HALT and ASSERT statements are not handled properly. They cause
application errors. You can see that when linker will not find
some of the nessecary files in the current directory. Note, please,
linker will report, say, 'advapi32 not found' and cause windows
application error. That is not an error indeed. That is unhandled
exception caused by issuing HALT command within linker code.
