Can anyone tell me if there are folks on this list in the Northern VA area? I
need to find a freelancer who knows PHP, Javascript, and mySQL. My client
likes face-to-face meetings on occasion, so I really need someone local.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSDOS#Versions, the last
retail version of DOS would be V6.22, though V7.1 was the last one to
be used as a Windows loader.
But I have no idea what compiler could be used. MSDOS has no built in
network support, so advanced memory management, etc. Not without
having to load additional drivers and the TCP/IP drivers for MS DOS
are not tiny. Sure, you really can (and I have) cram then into upper
memory, but it is on a motherboard by motherboard basis - one size
does not fit all.
All of these things would severely cripple PHP's usage in a true MSDOS
environment.
Add to that, the vast majority of libraries will be talking to the
windows api in some form and that doesn't exist.
You are pretty much stuck with no network services, limited memory and
restricted extensions.
Can you describe your project and to why it MUST run on such an ancient OS?
OOI, Using something like DosBox [1] can help with some development -
a DOS emulator for Windows. I use it to run REALLY old games.

Is there any way to get who moved a file, deleted a file, etc. from inotify? I
search and couldn't find a way but thought someone on the list might know.
Thanks!
