It's better to use the NT-hosted compilers in %WATCOM%\BINNT. DPMI support in the Windows NT family isn't very good (and non-existent in 64-bit Windows). The example in build.bat with %WATCOM%\BINW in the PATH is geared towards building FreeDOS in real (Free)DOS. dos386 wrote: > I wonder whether FreeDOS can compile on itself at all ... sure I've done it many times. However, I still haven't been able to reproduce the data corruption bug you reported, and could not find any file start cluster 32->16bit truncation in the source code :( If there exists a batch file that could reproduce it (which includes formatting the hard disk partition, putting files on it, and information about the size), that would be most welcome -- from your info I'd assume that once the disk is full enough to go over 64k clusters some corruption should occur, but I did not see it happening.
