Hi, Since I’ve become the “bain of everyone’s existence” regarding the 32-bit extension to FreeDOS, I am going to attempt to offer an olive branch so I can stay on the list.
How about a FreeDOS Developer Studio? It would combine all of the recommended build tools to build the operating from the source. I know a lot of the individual components that comprise FreeDOS commands are written using various tools, i.e., museum versions of Borland compilers, and they also use Turbo Vision (or the free representation thereof)… With that being said (theoretically), would it be a good idea? OpenWatcom, NASM, FreePascal, what else? I have the PC Game Programmer’s Encyclopedia. Most of those articles were public domain documents (the XMS and EMS specifications are in there as text files), the GIF87 spec, etc. I know a lot of these articles are easily accessible via the web, but perhaps by providing a centralized location where you can find code examples and documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
