What's the difference between wcc wcc386? I noticed that wcc386 adds -5s, -5r, -fp5 (-6 equivalents) for stack, register and fpu optimization. Does wcc386 generate code that could be used in the kernel? -L On Fri, May 3, 2013 at 5:57 AM, Louis Santillan lpsan...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri

Haha...I'd be interested if you ever developed a 586 core at 1GHz that could utilize DDR-3 upto 4GB. On Sat, May 4, 2013 at 1:43 AM, ht-lab han...@ht-lab.com wrote: On 03/05/2013 15:55, Tom Ehlert wrote: In the past, we compiled kernels for 8086, 186 and 386 separately afair. I guess we

Autoexec.bat and config.sys would likely be useful here, especially to understand the value of LASTDRIVE and to know if any other disk drive drivers are installed (CDROM, SATA, USB, Zip, etc.). Ideally, everyone matches MS-DOS, so knowing what functest returns there might help. On Sunday,

Method 1 is the traditional DOS way of installing software. Maybe some advanced usage of JOIN & SUBST is what you are looking for? Another alternative (though slightly messy) would be to combine Methods 1 & 4. By that, I mean, leave the *.bats in C:\DOS. The *.bats will temporarily create a

See the FreeDOS Spec [0]. OpenWatcom C/C++ (1.9?) (and by extension WASM/JWASM? for ASM??) and NASM (no version either though many are based on 0.98.x) are the reference compilers/assemblers/linker. I was able to able to compile a recent kernel version with the non-reference compiler Borland
