Where ever you get the compiler, do yourself a favor and go find 
c_prep19.lzh (or whatever compression format I used) and replace the 
c.prep that comes with it, with the c.prep from that archive.  The 
original will trash your code when it gets over about 8 or 8k of source, 
and will do it silently.  But the code it generates will crash, 100%.  
This c.prep has been tested with src files slightly above 34k without 
problems.

I think its on rtsi.

There are some other usefull tools to go with it, some for all versions 
and some only for level2 & up.
