2Bernd: thank you.
you're welcome. I've managed to setup OpenWatcom. Just like Bart said: it's a lot easier than it seems. Two things though:
*can anyone point me to a DIFF program? I'd like to experiment with some things. I have almost no C knowledge but by looking at the sourcecode I learn a few things. I've posted several minor 'bugs' (actually enhancements) at Bugzilla that I might solve this way all by myself :)
*Can there be a hint as to NASM use? I did this wrong. Bart's config.b has a line "set NASM=NASM16" I thought this pointed at a directory.. ofcourse compiling failed :) so please add a comment like "complete path+filename for 16 bit NASM executable" and then change nasm16 into nasm16.exe however [set NASM=NASM16 -> set NASM=NASM16.EXE] means 4 extra bytes of environment space. ( the .EXE part).
Once I have the DIFF tool I can see what Arkady made of his batchfiles. That's something I have a little bit more experience with..to some people's despair sometimes :)
kernel compilation worked fine after correcting NASM line.
