OpenWatcom, of course!! How could I forget! I just passed there a moth ago, thinking it was a nice thing to open up Watcom C++. But does it also do 16bit exe's? As far as I know, it only uses DOS-extenders such as DOS/4GW, right? > 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.

Yes, I know DJGPP pretty well. When the Quake source was released, I played with it for while. It's also the first thing to use with the Allegro library. But in fact, I actually DO need a realmode compiler... should have mentioned that of course. > PS: "copy a:\. ." crash and "if you give no /P, FreeCOM allows EXIT" are > well known!

Believe me or not, but I queried your Bugzilla for some of these things, and didn't find anything. But I will try better next time, I promise! :-) greetz koder ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
