Hi FreeDOS devel people, as I was wondering "how small is that popular newish scriptish language, Lua, in DOS?" recently, Rugxulo put together a few files. Maybe you want to test :-)
Old Lua 4.0 in a 16 bit version: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/lua/4.0/ A test suite, see www.lua.org/tests/5.2/#basic is: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/lua/5.2.1/lua-5.2.1-tests.tar.gz And fresh Lua 5.2.1 as DOS exe (94 kB UPXed) is at: www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.2.1.tar.gz This answers a size question. Lite Rexx is smaller? Some example Lua one-liners: lua -e "print(42*42)" lua -e "os.execute(\"mem /c\")" The latter shows circa 445 kB free for Lua in DOSEMU after Lua itself consuming 178 kB, Rugxulo says :-) Another interesting question would be how 16- and 32-bit compiles with OpenWatcom and DJGPP compare in performance.
