P5 is a full "ISO 7185" (classic Pascal, Wirth's original) version of the P4 "public domain" bytecode compiler (and interpreter) subset from ETH Zurich. The binaries (pcom.exe, pint.exe) were only compiled and tested (by me) with GNU Pascal (e.g. GPC / DJGPP). * http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/pascal/p5/ Specifically, Scott (on SourceForge) only targeted Windows and Linux with separate .sh and (DOS-unfriendly) .BATs. So I wrote a GNUmakefile and built and tested 1.1 for DOS, Linux, and Windows. (Latest is 1.4, but I still haven't fully bothered yet. It's minor changes.) He kinda just does his own thing, so he never mirrored any of those builds. So I mirrored the DOS build for us. p5pas11.zip == (full sources and docs and tests, built with DJGPP 2.03p2 in 2013) p5-dj205.7z == (binaries only, built with DJGPP 2.05 in 2017) P6 will be 64-bit only because Scott doesn't seem interested in supporting 32-bit, sadly. So DJGPP it out. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
