Seems DOS4G/W had ... a proprietary license... and is/was mostly used by the Watcom C compiler... which is our prefered C compiler... DOS32A seems to be an open-source replacement for DOS4GW.... And we do distribute it: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/pkg-html/dos32a.html http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.4/pkg-html/dos32a.html Bonus CD and Full USB, but not installed by default. So I installed it with: fdnpkg install dos32a worked for me, because networking working for me, and then in: C:\APPS\UTILS\OPENCP copy \freedos\bin\dos32a.exe dos4gw.exe now: cp works! But I think there is a way to include the stub in the CP.EXE for making it easier for "newcomers". _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
