For anyone who wants to test the 32-bit version, note this uses dos4gw.exe so standard dos4gw assumptions apply. For example, if Edlin can't find \dos4gw.exe then try running Edlin from the command line via dos4gw.exe, such as this:
>dos4gw edlin32.exe Or if you don't have dos4gw.exe in your path, you'll need to include the path to dos4gw.exe, such as this: >\devel\watcomc\binw\DOS4GW.EXE EDLIN32.EXE Jim On Sun, Aug 21, 2022 at 12:41 PM Jim Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Oops, I realized that I didn't compile this version of Edlin 2.21 with > catgets support, so I've recompiled it.
