Archie should be able to point you in the right direction. > There's another free 32 bit C/C++/Objective-C compiler available, called EMX/GCC. It's a port of GNU-CC V 2.5.4, and is able to create plain DOS apps, bounded DOS/OS2 apps and OS/2 PM applications. The compiler and tools run under DOS and OS/2, so it's ideal to port UNIX applications either to DOS or OS/2. And: The famous GDB (GNU source code debugger) works with this compiler, it's even possible (under OS/2 !) to run the debugger in one text mode window, and your application in another one. But: EMX/GCC requires a 386/387 or a 486. You NEED a FPU to use it. ,---------------------------------------------------------------------, | Matthias Burian Institut fuer Analytische Chemie | | Universitaet Wien | | a8411gac@awiuni11.edvz.univie.ac.at Waehringerstrasse 38 | | 1090 Wien AUSTRIA | `---------------------------------------------------------------------'
