Getting a DOS packet driver working (under VBox or QEMU) is very easy. > PS: > The user-interface library 'TxWin' I use for my disk-tool is open-source. I've never used it, but I pointed Jim Hall to it (although I don't think even he used it) a few years ago. But that was old versions (txwin1xx.zip and txwin2xx.zip). A quick glance shows LGPL, is that still true? Do you mind if we mirror these (old and/or new) to iBiblio for us? > For the DOS target, it needs the OpenWatcom compiler to build anything, > so is probably not easy to use natively on FreeDOS. OW 1.9 runs natively in DOS. Or did you mean the makefiles need adjustments?

Which one? 9.1.2 (circa 2006?) is latest (but not included by default in old OW 1.9). Well, we're already familiar with it, and it's mirrored on iBiblio, IIRC. > https://www.dfsee.com/txwin/txwin5xx.zip > > Apart from DOS as a target, you can build for OS/2, Windows, Linux and macOS. Cool (but I'm probably not a good enough programmer to properly use it!). _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
