Re: Liberty-eiffel Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5

[Hans Zwakenberg]

yes, we want to make it as simple as possible, but not any simpler...  :)

I'll take steps towards c-runtime simplification.  For now, I'm not throwing 
out DOS just yet, as many Intel-based controller boards may be using a 
derivative of DOS.  About keeping DOS for now, I'd appreciate feedback from our 
user-base and/or readership.

cheers
Hans
