Digital Mars - c++ - Spreading the word

Hi All;

Came across DMC completely by accident today, and what a happy accident it
was!  I don't have any experience with DMC or SC for that matter, but any
effort that brings a high quality tool like that back up is time well spent.

I noticed in perusing the group that there seems to be some trouble in
getting the word out about DMC.  Forgive me for the silly question, but does
DMC still compile DOS 16/32 executables?  If so, maybe posting an
announcement to FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org) or the like might help
improve visibility.  I know that they've been actively following the
OpenWatcom efforts.

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, it does, but not in the console version available for download. The
patch version will. We're working on a CD with the whole shebang in it.

Although the compiler will still compile for DOSX, and we'll still provide
libraries, the actual dos extender will need to be gotten from old
zortech/symantec releases, as we don't have a redistribution license for it.
It will also still work with Pharlap's 386 DOS extender.

How did  you come across us?

I was checking a favourite site of mine

you think that it would be possible to use one of the freely-available DOS
extenders at some point, to get around the licensing issues?

Sure, but I have no idea how compatible they may or may not be. The compiler
currently works with DOSX and with Pharlap 386.

 It also works with the Flashtek developments of DOSX after they parted company
 with the Zortech/Symantec line.  That also is a licence problem.


Do you know if FleshTek is still in business or someone who has 
developed the DOSX Extender? I'm also using this extender end there are 
problems when using my DOSX app under Win95/98 (and some other troubles 
too).
