You're not going to be able to configure Splint to build under DOS. The
FAT32 filesystem doesn't support long file names, for one thing.

To get a splint binary that works under DOS you'd have to do a wholesale
port of the technology. I don't think it's feasible.

Since you have a Windows system available, why don't you copy your
sources (and any headers they use) to that, and run the Windows splint
binary against them there? You don't need to run splint on your target
system.

Michael -

Thank you.

I am running DOS 7.1 [the DOS part of Win 98 w/o the Win 98 
component], which does support long file names.  I have a DOS port of 
gcc [DJGPP].  Putting both of these together, I thought that I would 
able to compile splint on my DOS box.   A DPMI server has allowed me 
to run 32 bit programs on this machine, and for that matter, they 
even ran on DOS 6.2.

My C compiler is on the DOS box, and my wife uses the Win 2000 box 
for her work, which is the reason I do not try to run splint on the 
Win 2000 box.  Additionally, to compile/run a file on the DOS box, 
and then take the source to the Win 2000 box to run splint, I think 
would be rather tedious.

Given all the above, can someone please help.

Thanks again.

Ethan
