I have a couple of small pc s (hp, lenovo, EPT ed al.) around and start from
usb stick w Freedos booting.
All USB devices work: Mouse, trackpad (also the Apple magic trackpad!), bamboo
trackpad, some chinese foot pedal für Commands (e.g. control, also SHIFT) works
fine …
best,
Thomas

No, it won't.
But in my limited testing, what I found that might is this:
Install DOS onto a USB key, and boot from that, not from a HDD
If you’re ok with a Linux cross compiler, you can add “cobol” here (
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/blob/master/script/common-settings#L6)
and then build on a Linux box. Have you tried that?
In Fedora I did,
# sudo dnf install g++ gcc unzip bison flex make texinfo patch zlib-devel
It would help if you could point to the compiler in question, and give
some background on what has been done, and what doesn't work. Don't
know if you'll get any help even then, but the chance is much better.

Hi Liam,
I have a question about this advice?
granted, I have made no secret of my using, having specific computers
built to construct DOS, rather than simply choosing older hardware.
Perhaps that care makes a difference.
However, I am, right now, using full DOS booted from my harddrive
It's good to know that someone managed to get gnu cobol working on
FreeDOS... I figured I was the only one trying this project! I used
Debian 12 LXqt, DJGPP and ran it within FreeDOS installed on DOSBOX, but
errors are occurring when running the tool... can you help me?
