Compared to CSet++ it's quite easy :-) It mainly uses the *ix standard
command line syntax - if you know this one you know all. Thus there are
still some companies (like IBM) that come along with something new and
even stranger that now really nobody understands :-)
But [serious again], EMX is really one of the easiest to learn compilers.
To find out something about the compiler itself you should print out the
manual (texinfo format - can be compiled to TeX .dvi) or just view it via
info (I'd suggest even both). To get to know the OS/2 specials added by
E.Matthes there's the OS/2 .inf docs. OK, you might say I don't need that
all when I use Borland C/C++ but would you _seriously_ consider this?
