Well, what I find incredulous is that the arm-elf package that they
provide won't install on Windows 98SE (setup croaks with error -5002).
Thus even if I had an inclination to do my ARM development on a Windows
Box, I *still* couldn't use their tool beyond what's provided by OCDemon.
Sigh. What are they going to do when eCos eventually puts all other RTOS's
out of business? I guess I'm full of rhetorical questions today...
