thanks for the help On 1/11/07, Daniël Mantione <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, help is certainly very welcome, but note that more is needed than one or two bug fixes. To make it a first platform again someone is needed who really uses Dos, so he quickly notes when something is wrong and can make some new developments available on the Dos platform.
i use DOS regularly (right this moment, my 'lab' got messed up by a foreign handand i lost a AT power supply so no old PC running; this will get fixed today) i will do my best to make it up to date and to help Pierre Ok, so it is real DPMI. Since it can run OS/2 I think VPC should be of
sufficient quality to run a Dos extender but note that many virtual machines don't a PC emulate good enough and can be expected to cause some trouble here. I'm not saying this is the case here, but you shouldn't put limitless trust in your VM either.
well, a think that the problem is with freedos native dpmi (called hdpmi)...i will try to use cwsdpmi inseated to run fpc i forgot to mention that i noticed that the ide has this strange behavior: it loads, shows up and quickly disappears...no error msg, no crash for the sake of developing the DOS plataform, which version should i use: the 2.0.x branch or the new 2.1.x ??
Yes.
thanks I suggest to use the internal assembler. i will do so You should check the go32 extender documentation wether it supports
interrupt 26. If yes, the port will be easy, you can just update the code using 32 bit registers (i.e. ebp instead of bp). If not, it is harder: you should allocate real mode memory, copy data to real mode and do a real mode interrupt. The go32 contains the procedures to do this.
thanks for this info...gotta study the go32 unit and the go32v2 extender itself Daniël
