Compiling

Install SDCC.

If your make is not a BSD Make, install it and use bmake instead of make. You'll also need objcopy from Binutils installed in your $PATH.

Create an obj directory with mkdir obj and then run make LOC=ram to compile a version suitable for running from RAM (via the Loader).

Then transfer obj/msterm.bin to the MailStation with WSLoader which will load the application at memory address 0x8000.
