Oops, you misunderstood me. I was only talking about SmallerC (since DeSmet doesn't include PE/Win32 .EXEs) from his Github. I'm thinking about making a package for that compiler as well (one of these days ...) since it too has DOS support. > I appreciate knowing what's going on.

It's none of that, just that anything atypical in PE files is usually (falsely) flagged by bad heuristics (guesses). > I haven't really used this compiler myself (I believe I found it either from > osdev.org or a thread on hacker news; but I don't remember) so I'm not sure > if it's self-hosting or not. I assume it is. DeSmet? Presumably yes. (But SmallerC definitely is ... although I haven't tried lately.) > Any way it goes, I'll take a shot at figuring out how to compile the source > but it won't be tomorrow.

Just in general, it's hard to keep things organized, and it's hard to be 100% airtight with licenses. And of course, practically speaking, rebuilding everything is better overall. Not counting the .PDF manual, your archive is 377 files (but some of those are nested .ZIPs, so it's actually more). Looks like roughly 500 files (with some duplication of LIB8831H.ZIP). Not sure about NEWBIND.EXE and Large model or whatever. So yeah, this needs further cleanup and clarification. I haven't read the manual yet, though, so who knows what is contains. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
