Hi Mateusz, I saw some possibility of creating dll in case of watcom but didnt sure if it is usable under dos. I understand well that BSD license allowes me to do many thinks with you code. But idea is to provide api as shared or static library and keep it under maintenance. In the past I read he

Hello, I am working on some small game and one of points in my todo list is to enable play background music. One possibility is to grab similar project. But better way would be to use shared library if it is possible. So my question is do you plan provide also shared library? :-) Jarda 2014-08

Hi DOSers, Today, I decided to release publicly my latest project: DOSMid. http://dosmid.sourceforge.net DOSMid is a MIDI player for (free)DOS. It's a real mode application designed to run on very modest hardware configurations. It plays both MIDI and RMID files. It's released under a BSD l
