+# ecc - ELKS cc compiler wrapper for C86 (8086-toolchain)
+#
+# This script runs cpp86, c86, nasm and ld86 on the input file.
+# The input file must be specified without its .c extension for now,
+# and the script must be run in the 8086-toolchain/ directory,
+# as it also builds the libc86.a C86 library.
+# This restriction will be removed shortly.
+#
+# Usage: to compile and link foo.c:
+#   cd 8086-toolchain
+#   ecc foo
+#
+# Before using, modify the full paths below to ELKS and C86:
