I resisted posting the first time this went by, but I'll throw in my
two cents now.

DeSmet C will produce assembler output. Presumably there are no major
bugs since the compiler normally sends its output through the assembler.

Two faults - Only two segments supported -- one code, one data.
           - The assembler output is for DeSmet's assembler, not the
             Microsoft assembler.
