I recently decided to build myself a nice a fast DOS machine to fiddle with and installed FreeDOS 1.2.
I installed Borland Pascal 7 and tried to use it. Nope. :( When I run "bp" which is the protected mode compiler, I get this: Unhandled exception 000E at 0020 A19E ErrCode 0002. Google only dredged up decade+ issues that were never resolved. I noticed that if I let it boot using the default boot option, bp would fail, but not if I used "option 2". Option 1 (the default) is: Load FreeDOS with JEMMEX, no EMS (most UMBs), max RAM free Option 2 is: Load FreeDOS with EMM386 (Expanded Memory) and SHARE loaded. Is the default option known to cause issues with DPMI software like the protected mode Borland Pascal compiler? tnx. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.
