I know as little as possible about the i386, and I certainly know
nothing about the differences between 16 and 32 bit mode. Can anybody
on this list help? I'm sure that nobody at Cygnus plans to add
support for 16 bit mode, unless, of course, we find somebody to pay
for it.

Ian,
My name is Thomas Harmon. I found your E-mail address in the 2.3
version of GNU GAS. Please excuse me for bothering you. I would like to
ask for your opinion on some modifications I would like to make to GAS.
I am working on a major project which requires a cross-platform,
x86 assembler, for both 16 and 32 bit code. That is where my problem lies,
I know GAS does not currently support 16 bit code, but how much effort do
you think it will take to add it? Is this being planned for GAS? If so,
when do you think it will be done? If it looks like I'll need to add 16-bit
support myself, please send me a list of things I'll need to check. I think
I can figure it out from the 2.3 distribution, but I'd like to know about
any special problems that are not immediately obvious.
Thank you for your time.
