Only TC 2.01 and TC++ 1.02 are free. And OpenWatcom! Quite big but seems to be quite powerful as well. > 2) Is anyone using lex/yacc in any project? Did you use it for the > processing of .bat files? If not, then why not? Will lex/yacc work with TC > 2.01? I think you will want programming with DJGPP in a very GNUish environment. DJGPP can only compile 32bit protected mode programs (which will use the CWSDPMI for the DOS extender) but unless your C++ project is writing a driver, there will be no problem with that. DJGPP is a DOS version of GCC/G++, which includes a DOS version of a glibc type library. Many tools like BASH and AUTOMAKE/AUTOCONF/SED/... are available for DJGPP as well, and its free. Eric. PS: My driver-ish projects are all written in TC 2.01 or NASM assembly language, but I also use DJGPP for bigger apps. The FreeDOS kernel can be compiled with TC 2.01, too, but OpenWatcom does better optimization here. PS: "copy a:\. ." crash and "if you give no /P, FreeCOM allows EXIT" are well known! Please read Bugzilla before you tell us about old bugs. The "dir .exe" shorthand for "dir *.exe" is also a well known feature request. Please try both EDIT 0.7a and 0.81, and then help to create 0.7b and 0.82... they both have enough bugs and we do already know it. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
