As much as I like my 16 bit machines, I'm open to making mTCP 32 bit
friendly.
The code is very careful with data types - I never use "int" when the
number of bits matters. The trouble spots are going to be the IP checksum
routine which is hand-optimized assembly, my time of day code which looks
at BIOS ticks, and some bits of ASM I have sprinkled in the applications to
avoid using the Watcom runtime equivalents. But the base library code
itself reasonably clean.
If somebody has a good FAQ or "how to get started" that introduces me to 32
bit DOS extenders I'm willing to do the work. 32 bit would improve the
code generation quite a bit and make it even faster.
