 Re:vbcc 0.9g released
Installation was simple and there seems to be some nice documentation included. I haven't used VBCC for many, many years, so I stumbled into a print format issue where %f/%g were not working. Compiling and linking with +newlib made it work.

@Capehill

With the default vbcc c-lib you need to link with -lm to get floating point support, same as with clib2 (with gcc).

Only newlib is different and has floating point enabled always (there is a libm.a but it's empty).
