Hi Robert, > Only problem is -- Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS doesn't seem > to work in FreeDOS or Wine.
That would be a bug then. Turbo C is for DOS, so use it in DOSEmu, not in Wine. If it does not work in plain FreeDOS and does not work in (properly configured - read the documentation) DOSEmu, then you found a bug. Please give a detailled report (unless somebody reported the same problem earlier). Make sure that you use most recent kernel / FreeCOM / HIMEM / EMM386 (the latter is optional; use X=TEST option with EMM386...). Check: http://www.fdos.org/kernel/.README ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/ ... Other nice C compilers are DJGPP (only for 32bit code, it is the DOS version of GNU gcc/g++, and comes with a quite Linuxish DOS libc) and OpenWatcom (check the FAQ for detailled information about which files you have to install if you do not want to install the full huge DOS/Win/with-IDE package). PS, about Tom and the HIMEM/EMM386 LSM: TE> I wrote one myself - and published it. TE> and the current one on freedos.org/software is not the one I wrote. You could have asked Jim to fix the LSM. No need to complain on the list. PPS, about FreeDOS CD ROM included with some Dell: BB> Nice though that they selected FreeDOS, as Linux was also an option. BB> However that might be harder to support. Simple: DOS plus pressing F5 is trivial to support (unless this CD-ROM has the EBDA movement compatibility problem...), and nobody will use DOS for serious work anyway (at least Dell hopes that?). If they would install an actually useful preconfigured Linux, there would be actual customers asking for actual support. Some PC shops in Germany sell PCs with NOTHING, some with PC DOS 7, some with a Knoppix CD in the box, some with actually preinstalled Knoppix (!), but most just have the classic preinstalled WinXP. Some offer a SuSE Linux at no extra cost but then it is neither installed nor supported. Some offer full SuSE Linux preinstalled including the right to use the SuSE support. And so on.
