Ok now some things are coming back. Borland compilers work from the ms-dos command line.
Bcc 5.5? came with an old textbook. But the Dimension, although I assume has some sort of
command line structure, doesn't have an ms-dos command line. So let's just say tje
program got up and running, even compiled code (all that assumes a lot). How is it going
to save the .obj file. The file structure of Northstar dos would have to be identical to
ms-dos, 8.3. It would have to be able to read an ms-dos formatted disk. And the main
kicker is the object codw format, creating a 256 byte psp. Amongst other shit I have to
assume. Or does ms-dos itself handle some of that. Is a compiler'a executable format
compatible with this. This thing is binary compatible in a broad sense. But can you simply
for instance run Linux wares on bsd?
