No it is not and it is rude Try ReactOS forum. How long you will survive there before getting banned, if you are not yet. development has been to at least support the versions of Windows that ran on top of dos. This violates the GPL. The natural next step is to replace those versions of

[Freedos-user] HX EXTENDER and djgpp.

2009-06-16 Thread kurt godel
Before I even try messing with hx extender, does anyone know if it will work out-of-the-box with djgpp, which I am used to, and I don't trust having two compilers of the same language present simultaneously. Also, since HX has it's own dpmi, would I have to remove the cwsdpmi from the
