For the past month, I've been running the OpenWatcom build of NTVCM (CP/M emulator) in DOS on my "old" 2010 laptop. I was testing a (bytecode) Pascal compiler from 1986, trying to speedup and rewrite my programs (since it tells you the estimated speed on a 4 Mhz Z80). Long story short: several rewrites later, lots of tweaks, I managed to whittle it down from 40+ minutes to only 7. (It only takes 13 seconds in reality. I'm just comparing.) Slow can be good sometimes. I've also run some programs under DOSBox-X (in DOS) and 8086tinyplus (sadly, Windows) running FreeDOS guest. It just gives me a chance to hone my craft and improve my programs. But I find that fun. > *The storage card is like 2GB and I partitioned mine as about 1.5GB & 500MB— > the 500MB D: is where > I keep my documents & other files, and install any third party games & apps I > want to use.

Smart idea. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
