We now have a fast instruction set simulator working so we can run our test suites, and we added a whole slew of Propeller specific and Spin compatibility functions and macros so no more inline asm() (unless you really really must). We can blink LEDs, one on each Cog smile.gif We can write text to the VGA, we cleaned up the documentation! You can set the terminal window to auto open and close the com port, we use Propellent.dll (thanks Jeff!) to scan all your available ports ("all your ports are belong to us"). Want to know what the magic 32 bytes look like in the beginning and the end of the binary file? Look at our document (hee hee hee). It slices, it dices, it will change the way people program the Propeller, and YOU KNOW the Propeller will change the way people program embedded systems!!! Be the first in your block to write a video game using Propeller C!! OK, I am running out of exclamation points and hyperbole. Try it. You'll like it!

ICC V7 for Propeller (ICCProp) V7 RC2 June 11th 2008

MISSING ITEMS for PRODUCTION RELEASE:
- We are now running our compiler test suites and they have exposed some
defects. As soon as they are fixed, the compiler will go into production.
Thank you for your support.

FEATURES:
ICCProp is an ANSI C development tool for the Parallax Propeller.

Initially, only integer code is supported with 32 and 64 bits FP coming later.
The C dialect is C86, although extensions such as // comment is supported and
the C Preprocessor is fully C99 compliant.

The IDE is project based, i.e. you create a project, add .c or .s source
files to it, and click the Build icon (Project->Build) to build the project.
You can set up the built-in Propellent downloader to download a program on
successful build.

HELP FILE:
Help is available both as HTML Help and as a PDF file
c:\iccv7prop\help\iccprop.pdf

"OBJECT EXCHANGE" and SPIN:
ICCProp will probably never be able to execute SPIN code or SPIN objects
directly (sorry). If you choose to port an existing object or write one
for ICCProp, we will give you a small amount of cash or a discount on a
license purchase. Details TBD.
