I don't know how feasible that is (at least, for explicitly 16-bit DOS only stuff). There are some libs (e.g. msglib, suppl, d-flat ... probably many more that I forgot), but they are fairly scattered, so I don't know if they are much (re)use outside of one or two specific apps. -- Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.

RTL comes as given by the compiler people Borland or Watcom), and not sooo compatible.

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS Build Tools
Hi, Just thought I'd bring this back up as I am currently working on one of the core components to transition it from Borland to OpenWatcom. In looking at the code, I noticed that for internationalization, the CATS library is used. One version of the FDISK source code didn't have the source or the library file for CATS. So in getting back to this developer studio, it appears obvious the previous chain that there was no real agreement on an editor. However, we do have a general agreement on the toolset, primarily because the spec says so, that being OpenWatcom C (or C++) and NASM. LIke I mentioned before, the DOS API is well represented, which makes this easy. The next task is the supporting libraries, like CATS for example. So to take a page from Linux, FreeDOS pretty much includes OpenWatcom. It supports the core DOS functions. If a package called FreeDOS Build Tools/Headers or whatever was built, what are the common 3rd party libraries, such as internationalization, for example that we could include to make building (re-building) things easier? -- Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.

[Freedos-devel] FDISK Update
Hi, I updated FDISK 1.2.1 and made some changes so that it would compile. I also managed to get in contact with Brian and he's helping me resolve the issues with the 1.3 code base that I'm having with compiling it. Hopefully soon I will have something together and I can start on the rest of CAT implementation and transitioning from Borland compilers to OpenWatcom. -T -- Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
