Dear Louis,

a few points

a) the FreeDOS project isn't very interested in a BC5 compiled
kernel because BC5 isn't freely available/open source;
I also doubt the output of BC5 will be significant better then the OW
output.
feel free to experiment, but don't expect us to be excited ;)


I'm not sure how you can say the FreeDOS project isn't interested in a 
BC5 kernel.


Tom meant to say don't expect me to be excited ;) he is obviously not 
speaking for everybody on this mailing list. I for one would be 
interested to see size/speed numbers for any compiler free or commercial.


Good luck with BC5,

Hans

 In the past, we compiled kernels for 8086, 186 and
 386 separately afair. I guess we got lazy and have
 dropped 186 because very few users have 186/286 as
 their CPU? They either have modern or REALLY old.
 this is not about 'lazy'
 it's easier for the user to select between 2 choices then between
 4. multiply by 2 (FAT16/FAT32), this is 4 or 8 kernels.

 there's not much use for a 186 kernel as NOBODY has 186/286 machines
 these days,
Really, NOBODY.
