[fpc-pascal] What is the lowest MS-DOS version supported by FPC?

2010-05-15 Thread Bihar Anwar
I've tried googling and searching FPC mailing list for information about this 
one, but I found nothing. 
I just found in  http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq3_1.html  that DJGPP  
requires MS-DOS version 3.1 or later.

Would someone here tell me exactly about lowest MS-DOS version supported by FPC?

3.1, I'm pretty sure. AFAIK it doesn't use any specific DOS 5.x+ calls except 
perhaps for checking for existence of DOS 7.x (Win95) LFN functions. And DOS 
4.x was close to non-existent anyway.

Of course, it has probably never tried with such old versions.
