This sounds very cool, but I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what he means about NASM. I guess he means the default binaries for modern NASM require 386 (and DPMI) from DJGPP. If his code doesn't require modern NASM preprocessor tricks, if it can assemble with old 0.98.39 (from 2005), then we have 8086 builds of that version (TurboC or OpenWatcom). _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
