Hi. Not to be a party pooper, but why not use OW + _WASM_ as WASM is
closer to MASM than NASM...

If you are like me, you have used (or are using) the 4DOS command shell.
4DOS was my favorite DOS app. Back in the day, my DOS development
system was guaranteed to have at least one C compiler, a cool editor for
writing code, and a copy of 4DOS to make the command line easier to use.
I still run a copy of 4DOS on my FreeDOS system.
Some of you have asked about 4DOS, and Rex Conn (JP Software, creator of
4DOS) had previously agreed to release 4DOS 7.50 as unsupported freeware
in August 2004. Recently, I approached Rex to ask if he would release
4DOS under an open source license. Rex agreed!

Hi Jim:

I'm enclosing a zip of the 4DOS source as of version 7.50 (the final
version). I've removed the non-DOS code from the source, though I
haven't
tried compiling it (I don't have the MSVC 1.51 compiler anymore, nor
the
MASM assembler).
The only restrictions I'd put on the source code is that it not be
used for
an OS other than FreeDOS or any commercial products without my
permission.

The source to 4DOS (less a few non-DOS things) is now available from
ibiblio, distributed under a modified MIT license (the additions are
mentioned in Rex's email, above.) See the readme.txt in the zip file
for the license terms, also in each *.c, *.h, and *.asm source file.
This will require some work to compile, especially if you want to use
OpenWatcom and NASM instead of the original MSVC and MASM. However,
since the source is now available for FreeDOS developers, feel free to
make the changes necessary to get it to compile.
The new zip file archive is labeled 7.50.1 to distinguish itself from
the previous 7.50 release. Find it at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/user/4dos/7.50.1/4dos7501.zip
I'm really glad that Rex was able to release 4DOS as open source
software. This is a big step. HUGE THANKS to Rex! :-)
