Yeah I spent a long time writing that :-). All public-domain, ~90% from scratch, mostly working. Some parts of the library are buggy, but I think if there's enough interest I could release the portion that deals with lfn support as it seems to be quite stable. On that note, some functions seem less buggy on dosemu for some reason than NTVDM. Also functions like printf and scanf are much smaller than their OpenWatcom equivalents. Other than the bugs though, it's a very complete C library and includes many POSIX functions and utitlities that OpenWatcom does not by default provide. (I even implemented <aio.h> just for an experiment :-) ) > Fdisk, Undelete, Defrag and a Scandisk-based-on-dosfsck > which Blair might be working on at the moment... Yeah maybe I'll start tomorrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
