So it may not actually be a regression in the kernel itself then. > I had downloaded FreeDOS1.0 from freedos.org, but it only had > the 2036 kernel.

You can get various kernels separately and replace it manually (if you think that'll help). Note that it's just a simple copy and rename, there is no install necessary since you already have an active FAT partition and boot sector. 2036: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs/sysx.zip 2037: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs/unstablx.zip 2038: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos/files/Kernel/2038/kernel2038-fat32-binary.zip/download 2039: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos/files/Kernel/2039/ke2039_86f32.zip/download > I'm running Borland C++ version 2.0 as the compiler.

You'll just have to keep trying unless somebody somewhere also has BC++ 2.0 and is willing to test. Since it's not freeware nor sold any longer plus few volunteers, that might complicate things. Sad but true. :-( P.S. Turns out that it was "Turbo" C++ 2.0 that never existed, but Wikipedia does indeed list a "Borland" C++ 2.0 (1991). Annoying and confusing. EDIT: It's been a while (months) since I last used any Turbo C/C++ compiler to build anything. Mostly that's because of hardware issues (laptop dying, etc) and lack of need. But IIRC, they use a .CFG file to store paths to compiler. So perhaps your config file was correct for one computer but wrong for another (different paths). You might want to double-check that. And/or you should use a tool like KGB to trace exactly what files it's trying to use, so you can see exactly what it's expecting and where. http://www.resoo.org/docs/dos/free_software/system.htm#functrace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
