I've had a go. I have a partly-working perl on msdos, compiled under Turbo C. So far: no support for backtick, globbing or anything else that needs "fork", but "system" is almost working. Few other problems, except that "eval.c" needs the full 640K & non- interactive compiler. >BTW, MKS large-model awk takes about 74K, and Gnu awk about 112K, on >MSDOS. Size: about 270K. Is it worth it? PS - have you seen "bawk". A funny little thing, about 25K.
