  • HPT (DOS)

    From Joseph Larsen@1:340/800 to All on Wed Jul 13 04:52:42 2016
    Anyone know if I can compile HPT under DOS? For some reason, sourceforge
    isn't allowing me to download the source at the moment..

    Thanks,

    Ok. I found a DOS binary on sourceforge. Problem is, it segfaults DOSEmu.. Anyone have any ideas?

    which DOS is it for? freeDOS? is freeDOS 32bit?

    aside from that, FIDOSOFT.HUSKY would be the place to ask about HPT specific problems like that...

    Does a 32 bit DOS exist??
    That would not be DOS any more, would it??

    Or do you mean extensions such as the DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI)

    aside from that, FIDOSOFT.HUSKY would be the place to ask about HPT specific problems like that...

    Indeed ... but I doubt that there will be people left interested in compiling and supporting it for DOS.

    I still think that you are better of using old DOS tossers like FastEcho.

    apparently...

    DOS is nothing more than "Disk Operating System"... it could be 256bit and still be DOS...

    (DPMI)

    nothing like that should be needed for true 32bit stuffs... they should be using a flat memory model... the last time i used freedos it was very different
    from the normal MS-DOS... especially in the memory area... i had to figure out the new ways to get the drivers loaded that i needed to access a machine i was rescuing data from... that was several years ago when machines started coming out with no standard RS232 serial ports on them... luckily i was able to use the parallel post to rescue this particular machine ;)

    agreed to a point...

    It works with any flavor of DOS. AFAIK. It runs in DOSBox fine, unlike
    DOSEmu..

    Something I should also say, is that HPT for DOS uses the CWSDPMI.EXE
    extender. And I made sure that DPMI memory is enabled in my /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file.

    Have just seen that there is a precompiled DOS DPMI build:
