Hallo Bart,
Yes that's what I meant. What are the errors dsk.c gives you?
None! :-O Don't know why, but now when I edited the UTILS\MAKEFILE to define EXEFLAT for EXEFLAT.C so that the pragma doesn't affect it, OpenWatcom 1.3 *successfully* built the kernel and the size is... guess what - exactly 63850 bytes, as you wrote! But this is... after adding Eduardo's Int 2F-12 functions! Apack packs that to 42200 bytes. If I pack the "exeflatted" kernel by it as a .COM file, I get 41967 bytes. UPX gives me 41460 bytes. The other #pragma aux default you suggested gives me 64042 bytes uncompressed, and 41183 bytes compressed by UPX as a .COM file. I suspect I could never reach the "sacred" size of 40960 bytes :-( For comparison, the "aPacked" Borland 4.0 kernel is now only 40832 bytes. No, Watcom is just too smart to produce well-compressible code! :)
Groet, Lucho
