Is OpenWatcom's DOS compiler 16-bit DPMI too?
No. Openwatcom is only capable of producing straight 16-bit apps or
32-bit DPMI apps.
I'm wondering, does anyone have a set of test apps that can test the

IMHO, both are needed: DJGPP is perfect for compiling Unix tools.
Openwatcom is very good for new or simple programs. Porting from Borland
to OpenWatcom is ususaly not too dificult.
I have a lib of functions for OW that contain all the screen functions,
this is the worst part of converting.

Hi Blair,
Why not supply OpenWatcom instead? It's freely distributable.
OpenWatcom is already supplied, but DJGPP is much more useful for
porting GNU utilities or linux programs to DOS (like DOSFSCK in the
Base FreeDOS diskset, and many games using the allegro library).
Please excuse my
djgpp may not be good for the kernal programming but I can't think of a better platform for applications programming. I know that there are those who are more into Freedos as an antique excersize in programming. However, Many comercial utilities use some form of dos as a spingboard for bootable CD

I don't think, that LaTeX is very usefull for the _common_ FreeDOS

You are welcome to try, but it probably requires Windows-specific
graphics stuff and besides, I am including GS for DOS 7.05 in the next
ISO, which is MUCH improved over the GS

It can convert, and also it can view PS and PDF.

We (Jochen, Michal, me) are already in the process of patching/compiling
the latest version for Open WATCOM. But give us some more weeks.

I thought so. However, OpenWatcom won't build FreeCOM, what other
compilers is supplied on the ISO image that can build it?
FreeCOM only builds on Turbo|Borland C[++], as far as I know, and none
of these are redistributable (even the free ones available from the
Borland museum).
FreeCOM needs a lot of work to make it compilable with OpenWatcom but I
think it's worthwhile doing. I've made a good start but it's likely to
take a long time.
That's great! I also would like to see FreeCOM compileable with
OpenWatcom. This will also allow it to be 386-optimized as well as
