Hmmm, I know I read your recent message, but you were kinda vague. What exactly doesn't work? What error message does it give? What version of Borland C? And most importantly, what kernel are you using? (try "ver /r") It's most likely an issue on your end since I haven't heard of any Borland tools having issues except maybe Turbo C 3.0, but I think they fixed that in later kernels. So you should definitely try kernel 2038 (instead of 2036 from FD 1.0) or even "unstable" 2039. > I looked in the archive, but there does not seem to be any pre-1.0 > versions available. Anyone know where I can get one? Not offhand. Jim removed all the old ones because people kept getting confused and getting the older versions. I'm sure there's a mirror online somewhere, but I don't know offhand. EDIT: Does this link help? But I'd rather you didn't use this and instead told us more specifically what's wrong. Most FreeDOS users don't use Borland tools except (freeware) TC++ 1.0.1 or TC 2.01 or TP 5.5. http://ftp.usf.edu/pub/freedos/files/distributions/official.old/0.9sr2.BETA/ P.S. Worst case scenario, you could always use OpenWatcom, right? It's far better than Borland anyways (and official compiler for FD, natch). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
