It should be 8086 compatible. Using current ow (1.9 or higher) and current nasm (2.09 I think) copy the sample batch (.b to .bat) & make (.std to .mak), edit paths and type build or build xms-swap (i'm not at my computer to check filenames) and you get a working command.com. I haven't had time to do much testing nor re familiarize myself enough to get the localized versions. > > Offtopic: > > I'm liking 4DOS's loading options, deciding on the spot whether to not > swap, or swap to disk or extended memory. > 4DOS if my primary cmd except for testing. > I'm wondering a few things though: > > ...
