Re: [Freedos-user] I need an example
I would recommend trying to contact the WATT-32 library for such examples... and there is example code on the website, although I'm not sure it's c++. I wasn't clear. Code's the only thing I don't need. It's the build scripts (.bat files, make files, whatever) and examples of how to use the toolchain, that I'm after. If I could use Microsoft VC++ to produce a DOS executable (and I dearly with I could, because then I'd be done), I'd be asking for a project file, so I could see what switches the compiler needed, what libraries to link with, etc. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] FDISK bug (sorry I don't know how to use bugzilla)

If you want to use fdos' fdisk then you should take advantage of it's features and read before you use it unattended in batch files. It is a drop-in replacement for the MS counterpart, but it corrects and enhances it. Sorry, stupid me ... read through the documents in the ZIP file but fail to locate the skip MBR details. Also If the Free FDISK skip writing MBR, better have an extra message to warn the user. I don't mind enhancement, but I don't think normal user will first search all the documents, recite them and use it, so warning is necessary. It's not a hidden rule, it's documented. Documented but with no warning and no message after making the partition, sorry for my stupidity but I expect it works same as MS-FDISK because interface and usage almost the same. Also when you choose NOT to let FDISK create a single partition and did on your own, the logical drive size will be wrong. I don't know if anyone got this problem also. dunno about this one.

[Freedos-user] CauseWay DOS extender
Hi! I found a very neat open sourced DOS extender included with Open Watcom 1.2, called CauseWay. I recompiled Shadow Warrior source code, but instead of DOS4GW, I linked the executable with CauseWay, and I very surprised, because the game runs as stable as the original exe, but the exe is much smaller... ...But is it safe to link DOS4GW programs with CauseWay? I didn't modified any code in the SW sources. Is CW fully DOS4GW compatible? I know DOS32A is fully DOS4GW compatible, but if I link SW with DOS32A, the game locks up completely at the 3D Realms title screen. ___ Szavazzon a focivébé legvonzóbb focistájára! http://ad.adverticum.net/b/cl,1,6022,103553,167933/click.prm ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Interesting enough, the specs say that FreeDOS is already preinstalled on harddisk.
