Any Visual
C/Borland C types want to try it?
Jerome Fine replies:
A friend of mine says he has an old version of Borland Turbo C 2.0
that runs under MS-DOS. Would that do the job?
Well, Turbo C 2.0 can do DOS programs, it dates back to before 1990. If
doing a purely DOS port, I'd have to say go with the DOS version of the GNU
C compiler. I would think using it that it would be a fairly easy port.
Sorry, I nether have the DOS version of gcc, nor do I have the desire to
try to get it running on DOS. One of the text files mention that someone
was trying to port it, and the 2.3c sources have comments in it related to
Win32. I doubt anyone has done any kind of fancy GUI front-end for it.
I've compiled and run it on AIX 4.3 and Linux 2.0.x without any trouble to
speak of. I think AIX required a little very simple hacking. I've managed
to get it compiled on MacOS 8 on my PowerPC 8500, but haven't been able to
get it to successfully boot from a disk image. The Mac REALLY needs a
PDP-11 emulator!
