Hi all and Happy New Year,

I sent a screen shot, not knowing that there was a size limit on the emails, so 
I’m resending as a text only message.

I have been working on a project for FreeDOS for well over year and I think 
it’s about ready for prime time. I thought it would be cool if there was a 
FreeDOS branded toolchain, so I worked on the OpenWatcom code and re-branded it 
to FreeDOS. It still has all of the OpenWatcom copyright information, here’s an 
example from the WASM assembler.

[Output from WASM]

The cool thing is that both the Watcom and FreeDOS toolchain can co-exist (as 
long as you set your paths properly. I am going to install it in FreeDOS and 
look for some code to compile in FreeDOS to see if it will work, especially 
since this is 2.0 and not the 1.x branch.

If anyone else would like to take it for a spin, let me know.

-Tony
