Still strange. I get 64266, doesn't matter whether it's OW 1.2 or 1.3. The #if !defined(FORSYS) #pragma aux default parm [ax dx cx] modify [ax dx es fs] #endif in portab.h works only if you use the 386 options that may explain why it didn't work for you. The pragma reduces it to 63850 (from 64266, ie. 416 bytes). To reduce compressed size you can try #pragma aux default parm [ax dx] modify [ax bx cx dx es fs] which adds ~200 bytes uncompressed but reduces 300 compressed. Also shuffling the link order helps a bit. OBJS1=kernel.obj entry.obj intr.obj irqstack.obj apisupt.obj io.obj \ console.obj OBJS2=printer.obj serial.obj dosidle.obj execrh.obj asmsupt.obj int2f.obj \ nlssupt.obj OBJS3=nls_hc.obj procsupt.obj dsk.obj error.obj blockio.obj chario.obj \ break.obj OBJS4=fatfs.obj fatdir.obj fattab.obj dosfns.obj fcbfns.obj \ inthndlr.obj OBJS5=ioctl.obj memmgr.obj task.obj newstuff.obj dosnames.obj nls.obj OBJS6=prf.obj network.obj sysclk.obj lfnapi.obj systime.obj initclk.obj OBJS7=initdisk.obj inithma.obj main.obj config.obj iprf.obj dyninit.obj \ iasmsupt.obj ~100 bytes off compressed kernel. -zm gets it further but that's broken (segments messed up), but if that can be fixed you just need to get it below 40960 (80 sectors). Anyway, just to give some ideas.
