You can look at drdos.org, see http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.Development for a nice overview about DOS development in general with many links.
There are some pretty cool gui toolskits for DOS. http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.DevelLibs If you prefer text mode you could use D-Flat+ or Turbo Vision. Otherwise if you prefer graphical guy... Perhaps you know wxWidgets, it's also available for DOS. It currently doesn't compile with newest gcc (djgpp) and also not with ow which is a shame, also the wxwidgets version is outdated but this is the less annoying thing. Maybe you want to port it, I think it's a good base for further DOS gui apps and not to hard for the start. regards, -mr usul schrieb: >> Hi, > > >>> It would help if you tell us what is your interest in DOS and/or what >>> you are using it most for.
