Wow, I'm impressed by all the discussion this has sparked. It's good to see an active dev community. So I think I'm nearly ready to start futzing around with FreeDOS code, but it's still a little foreign to me: I'm used to 32-bit Windows C++. In Visual Studio, no less. Are there any good books or online guides out there for learning intermediate [Free]DOS 16-bit C programming?
Also, do I need a native FreeDOS environment to compile in, or can I cross-compile with gcc? Also also, is there a good IDE that'll run in Windows XP, or do I need to use RHIDE in something like DOSBox? I remember using RHIDE on my old old old 486 Laptop the first time I started playing around with DOS code, but it was unbearably slow.
Thanks, I'm really appreciative of the FreeDOS community. --Jay
gcc can compile and cross-compile 32-bit DOS stuff, but not 16... for 16-bit C you'll prolly need a DOS-based compiler running on some form or emulation of DOS, or Watcom runs native on NT...
