It seems to work here now (SVN 1354). > While you are at it, you may want to remove the "shrink to 64k" > thing, I think it is not needed as long as the right library > functions are used for alloc-ing. I don't think shrinking was needed in the first place but copying works without trouble, so I'm not going to investigate further. > Interesting, thanks! Why did it work in OpenWatcom without ASM tags? Because it does not change the name mangling there. For Turbo C we're using -p, Pascal calling conventions, to shrink the size a bit, but that means that the compiler references all symbols with CAPITALS, unless you adorn them with _cdecl. > Good to know.

You should use "clobber" or the "-r" option with build that does the same thing. Without "-r" I got indeed a TGROUP>64k warning. In any case exeflat now calls upx by itself so the makefile is simpler. UPX's --lzma compressed kernels seem to crash indeed but would help a bit; OW 1.7 helps too.
