Orange C version 4.1.17 (Announce)

The preprocessor bug has been fixed in v4.1.17.

Orange C is now able to compile and link JWasm. Congrats!

However, the created jwasm binary crashes when it is to assemble a file.

AFAICS it's because the OrangeC implementation of CRT function _splitpath() - and maybe also _makepath() - don't allow NULL pointers as arguments.

MS docs:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each argument is stored in a buffer; the manifest constants _MAX_DRIVE, _MAX_DIR, _MAX_FNAME, and _MAX_EXT (defined in STDLIB.H) specify the maximum size necessary for each buffer. The other arguments point to buffers used to store the path elements. After a call to _splitpath is executed, these arguments contain empty strings for components not found in path. You can pass a NULL pointer to _splitpath for any component you don't need.

MS-DOS forever!
