It has some bugs that were apparently fixed in later versions, e.g. TC++101. I would recommend instead trying with TC++ 1.01, if possible. Granted, it's somewhat annoying to acquire freely, but it's still (seemingly) available (with prior demo download): * http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/21751 There's also an (unfinished?) port to OpenWatcom, which is probably a better long-term goal than relying on TurboC. This should be the proper location of its sources, but you may have to ask KJD (Jeremy) about it: * https://github.com/FDOS/freecom That OW port may have regressions, but I would rather we focused on "open source" (OSI)'d OW than anything else. Nevertheless, any fixes for TC are still accepted. Otherwise, what choice do we have? Centroid's (DJGPP, 386) shell has several lacks that preclude it from being used full-time. But it's dirt simple to rebuild (only one .c file!): * http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/contrib/centroidcnc/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
