It seems it doesn't like "/9" and "+A" mixed anymore. (Actually, that's confusing anyways, so I need to double-check that. Seems I used to do "cl386 /9 +A", but that doesn't work anymore. Maybe "+A" only means pure C89?)

Honestly, the real oddity is the CX*.ZIP package. I haven't been using that lately (only the main CCDL*E.ZIP DOS installer file), and apparently neither has he! The internal CC.ZIP inside there is md5sum identical between 4.09, 4.10, 4.11. It's dated 2012, so perhaps his personal makefiles are buggy?

EDIT: "Dead" is a harsh word. There is some partial overlap between the two toolsets. But it's obvious he's only doing active work on OrangeC as, unlike CC386, it supports C11 (and eventually C++).
