Regardless of what is finally settled on for use, it really needs to be something that works from the freedos environment itself. It would be kind of silly to tell folks that they need a windows machine just to recompile some code they're currently already using. If that's open watcom, great

Well, I wasn't going to consider the assembler yet because I didn't want to stir things up too much, but now that you ask ... I have a lot of experience with a lot of assemblers on a lot of machines. I was never too fond of masm, although I did write a lot of code using it. I preferred (note pas

Thanks Jeremy. I've been playing with the kernel for the last few days and building it with OW v1.9. All looks quite good and the kernel seems to behave properly. I definitely agree that source code should be written to be as portable as possible, and we can achieve that by coding to a standard

Folks, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to standardize on one C/C++ compiler for the project. I'm looking at the Open Watcom compiler and would like your opinion. Reason for this suggestion is that it is the only real mode compiler still under development and supported. This doesn't mean th
