I never wrote the runtime routines as I never really needed them. I
have some other routines that work just about as well. Perhaps you
could email me some samples of the PRINT USING's that you need. I
just un-blocked the second email address from the contact page, so you
could that one. The full range of PRINT USING features would be
somewhat of a pain to implement, however, if you only need a subset, I
could look into writhing the runtime. I need to write it sometime,
anyway.

The download (release) version can only generate 32-bit console
applications. The compiler (and all the rest of the parts) are
written in Basic. In order to boot strap it, I needed to compile a 16
bit version. The 16-bit version will never be released. It contains
MS library code. It is just used to compile the release version and
as part of the validation process.
I wrote all the code in the release version, except for some of the
floating point library routines.
BTW, the bl.exe driver in the download is somewhat downlevel. I can
email you the newer version if/when you need it.
