Thanks, Cristian.
I saved your instructions for assistance if I ever decide to become a
Linux nut instead of a DOS nut, but I'm afraid that my view of how to
get some usefulness from computers will prevent that. <G>
The only programs I would compile for DOS are those I might write myself.
I can't yet see why I might want to RE-compile programs that someone else
wrote (and surely tested) unless I thought there was something wrong with
them, and then I would be more likely to just avoid them.
If Linux is so flaky (I KNOW that's gonna cause a rukus) that a program
compiled by someone else yesterday won't run on my Linux today, then I
would have to conclude that Linux is still too immature for general use. ;-)
While I understand that programs written for W98 may not run on W95 and
WILL not run on W3.1, and with Linux we have a similar situation, I would
argue that just means 32bit Windows is immature also.
DOS is mature enough for general use. Too bad it's also dead. :(
