I see! OK, when I copied it from W98 to C:\HX, PESTUB patched MASM 6.15 successfully, so I can now run it in FreeDOS, this time perfectly, also when building real projects with NMAKE and assembling multiple files at once. Congratulations! However, when I apply PESTUB to Digital Mars 8.38 (SC.EXE and SCPPN.EXE), it still crashes with a register dump (general protection fault) when I try to build real projects with SMAKE, but works when converted by HiNTOS, albeit *not* in FreeDOS :-(
But on the next day, Japeth fixed an incompatibility in DKRNL32.DLL, and now I can run both ML and SC in FreeDOS too! So, the only tool that I ran in MS-DOS but can't run in FreeDOS is the Windows version of RAR (currently HX's DUSER32.DLL doesn't have the "ExitWindowsEx" call that RAR needs). But *if* Eugene Roshal fixes the long standing "Not enough memory" archive update bug in the DOS version of RAR, RAR32, I would be able to run RAR32 as I run RAR in FreeDOS too, so then HX will really be the winner because it works in FreeDOS too, without the SFT magic that HiNTOS does! ;-)
