This will be quite nice!
I would be awesome if we could package a single "install" that would place
precompiled GCC and Binutil files on the drive. That way, the user would
simply install some cygwin support, then this program, download BrickOS, and
away they go.
GCC/Binutils from Hitachi (for cygwin):
http://semiconductor.hitachi.com/tools/2000r1_i686-cygwin32-x-h8300-hms.zip
BTW, I use BricxCC when writing NQC code. It is a good program! Keep up
the good work.

p.s. I would be happy to test out any releases you put together. I have
various machines available (from Win98 to WinXP)
p.s.s. I am glad that someone was able to make use of the prebuilt
GCC/Binutils; I have used them for quite some time and found that much
better than trying to compile the tools (which I was never able to do on
cygwin) However, for the two Linux machines, I had no problems compiling
the tools.
