Hi, I was precisely wondering these days about RBIL itself, do you know if Ralf Brown is already working on future versions, or has definitely stopped working on it? (in case you have contacted him already). Posts here in the past seemed to suggest (IIRC) that there actually was a lot of work to b

Welcome :-) Kernel AFAIK compiles with OW 1.9 + NASM (what versions ???). Tools are OW or BC or NASM or JAWASM. (BTW: is this documented somewhere ... easy to find and up-to-date ? Wiki ?) For new code you can use any compiler, though: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index
