SK> Arkady, how is your progress toward OW going?
It works (compiles programs). I even already prepared ATTRIB edition,
which compilable by TC/BC/OW, and delay its release only because wait, if I
found some new ways to reduce RTL (by replacing some RTL functions) -
currently ATTRIB.EXE after BC uses 3914 bytes, after OW 4044 bytes.
SK> Did have you assembled a Mini-DOS-OW development environment, for instance?
Yes, 12,760,275 bytes of /LANG/WATCOM/ directory and some batch files
to call wcc/wcl/wdis/wlib/wlink/wmake/wpp without modifying master PATH.
Also, 14,573,653 bytes of help files (and WHELP) and 265396 bytes of
dos4gw.exe.
SK> I just unpacked any ZIP, except that ones specifically marked as "Fortran".
If you wish, I specify which files included into my set.
PS: After BC some MSish thing in OW astonish me: for example, in*/out*
functions declared in conio.h (instead i86.h and, thus, in dos.h); instead
conio.h:gotoxy() I should use graph.h:_settextposition() (and almost all
other functions started by underscore)... And MSish division to WCC/WPP/WCL
also doesn't makes me happy. Also, OW makes shorter code (and even faster:
BriefLZ usage example works 5.22 sec instead 8.19 for BC), but it includes
much-much more with RTL. And OPTION EL,VFR for wlink helps not much. :(
