Re: [Freedos-devel] Compiling PowerPaint

Indeed, the msdos target exists, but it's not in the distribution on the FreeDOS host. I've changed to using the TP compatibility mode, and that has resolved most of the problems. Now, my biggest problem is getting far pointers to work, since they're only enabled for msdos. I'm attempting to

[Freedos-devel] Compiling PowerPaint

I have some modifications I'd like to make to PowerPaint as hosted on the FreeDOS archives, but I'm unable to compile the source. I'm attempting to use FreePascal to do the job, but it's failing to compile some of the units due to assembler syntax errors. I can't exactly tell what the problem is;
