tokenizing? comand line compilers?

Dear all,
I am currently writing a custom application to interface with the
stamp with Borland builder. My dilemma is that recompilation is
needed often as code segment changes. Does anyone know of a command
line version of stampw.exe to just "tokenize" into an object file so
I can upload into the stamp EEProm? Thanks a bunch.

control via the command line. It also allows you to compile to object files so
that you can send a program to a friend/client without revealing your source.

this means updates in the field without the client seeing the source code?
(or stampw.exe) as in " Go to my website and download file x and run
it to upgrade to the new version"? ( or some variation of this? )

That's right. The new compiler will create an object file and a separate
loader. Even better, it will create a stand-alone EXE file that is the
loader with your object embedded. The creation of this loader/object lets
you customize it (title, messages, etc.).
You send it to you client, they connect a Stamp-based device to their PC and
run the program.
If you have a group of possibilities, you can send the loader and separate
object files (appropriately named, of course). They run the loader, select
the proper object file and click [noparse][[/noparse]Download].
It's really cool stuff and should be available for release in September.

PS: The thing I like best about the command line interface is the ability to
use one's favorite programming editor. I'm currently using EditPlus. It
does syntax highlighting (I created a PBASIC syntax file) and allows me to
create toolbar buttons to launch the compiler and the compiler help file. It
will even to a keyword search in the help file if I've highlighted some text
before selecting help. And DEBUG still works when using and external editor.
Our compiler guy (Jeff) has done a great job on this -- it's really good
stuff and I'm confident that Stamp users are really going to like it.

Jon,
It is a relief that you told me there will be a command line compiler
soon. How soon? I am very eager to use it. My application is
basically finished but waiting for the compiler.
had to rethink my algorithm a bit if I couldn't find a command line
compiler. I have searched all over the place! Can you tell me how
soon? or maybe a beta version??
Thanks, Jon and compiler guy !

I'm sorry that I can't get it to you any sooner than our normal release date.
It's undergoing testing now and the completion of the help file (my
reponsibility...). Jeff (the compiler guy) has a lot on his shoulders now
and I don't want to burden him with anything else. Hang in there, it will be
worth the wait. September isn't very far away.
