[Freedos-user] re: mem command
Hi, as far as I can tell, mem17bet zip compiles with Turbo C (freeware now) or Watcom C, and the Assembly part is in NASM (open source, freeware). So there should be no problem in creating a 8086 compatible version. Maybe one of the 32bit functions from the Assembly part get called without asking is_386() first and that causes the crashes on 8086...? The makefile uses UPX --8086, but I am not sure if all the compiler options for Turbo C and Watcom C really tell create a binary which can run on 8086.

Re: [Freedos-user] problems with OpenWatcom debugger + FreeCOM + Win98

There are no problems with WD when using Win98's COMMAND.COM on Win98, nor are there problems when using FreeCOM on FreeDOS rather than Win98. The problem I'm experiencing is that WD will step *into* (F8) function calls when I hit F10 to trace while stepping *over* calls. WD is plain old goofy. It has had a slightly unstable reputation under DOS for over ten years. You could be seeing nothing more than the OS memory image having different byte values at a particular location(s), or slightly varied free memory values, or an internal operation delta which isn't part of the DOS documented interface. Or WD could be unhappy with the memory drivers. Check with and without HIMEM and EMM386 or try Microsoft versions of same under FreeDOS, see if it makes any difference. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
