short description
Master Compiler is a generic GUI (Graphical User Interface) for DOS-based compilers.

long description
Master Compiler is created to ease the use of DOS-based compilers which usually require you to type in many command-line options (or parameters, I'll be sticking to the word parameters) which can be confusing, simply put very user-unfriendly. What Master Compiler does is to let you specify such command-line options (actually you tell Master Compiler what to use, it can't guess which parameters does the target compiler uses) and help you run the compiler in DOS with the required parameters passed to it.

latest version
New in this version is the ability to search through the list of additional command-line options (aka parameters) easily. The Run window is further improved (at version 1.2 now) with the ability to recall the output for the last compilation even after you have closed the window. There are also some bug fixes and the addition of a new 'Error keywords' feature that lets you tell Master Compiler any error-associated words to look out for in the compiler's output results so as to signal a failed compilation.
