Wes and Dave,
I pulled out an ancient copy of Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS. It compiles most of
the code but chokes on the >8 character file names. I might have to try
Microsoft VC++ next....to make a DOS executable.
I also found a DOS C Comm library that could probably be converted to
C++ pretty easily.
I wonder if it is OK to change the filenames to 8.3? I know that DOS has its
limits, and it's probably not worth converting to it, but it occurs
to me that a DOS executable would work under WIN3.1 and Win9x as well.
I think even Linux runs old DOS executables, right?
Since NQC is a console app anyways, it might make it really easy to support
all platforms by simply supporting DOS...right?
Cheers,
