Anyone know of a 32 bit Compiler w/ Dos Extender that doesn't > have that restriction and is cheap (or free)? It's DJGPP. If you read the docs carefully, you'll note that the royalty applies ONLY IF YOU DON'T DISTRIBUTE GO32 WITHOUT SOURCES. I strongly recommend to anyone doing commercial distribution to use stub instead of go32 and distribute go32 separately WITH sources, AND THEN THERE ARE NO ROYALTIES. The point is to discourage (but not prevent) developers from screwing their customers. Basically, if you're nice to your customers, I'll be nice to you. DJ Delorie dj@ctron.com
