Not sure exactly, but FPC can output various assembly formats, and it must convert internally between various ones. So it's not "only" NASM syntax supported here. > And yes, there is no native FreePascal compiler [targeting i8086-msdos] on > DOS, Yet. > you have to use either a Windows or a Linux based cross-compiler. Although it's not a perfect solution, you can use the Win32 snapshots under HX in raw DOS. > The best chances for him would be to get the Turbo Pascal 5.5 compiler > from the oldies section at Embarcadero or try and get a copy of Borland > Pascal on EBay, if those are still around... TP 5.5 is okay but fairly weak in some areas. eBay is probably useless (EDIT: can't find anything useful). If he just wants to build once, he can ask someone who has TP (who?) to build for him. If he wants to do further development, he's going to have to learn more anyways, so FPC isn't out of the question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
