What I meant was real DOS, running direct in metal : Ms-dos 6.22 and
IBM pc-dos 7.0<br>
<br>
I intend to use Open Watcom C Compiler to compile and Causeway to
run.<br>

A couple of years ago I got xmlsec to build and work on MS DOS (well,
from the Windows command prompt, which is what I assume you mean).
I needed to make a very small change to xmlsec (to handle a reference to
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="cid:/filename/">"cid:/filename/"</a> by just looking for "<i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>filename<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>", because you can't
have colons in MS DOS filenames).
I found fundamentally insurmountable problems using MS tools to do this
(I'd explain why, but life is too short <g>), so eventually attacked the
problem using mingw <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.mingw.org/"><http://www.mingw.org/></a> to build all of the required
libraries and the executable as DOS/Win DLLs and an EXE.
It was a total nightmare, but I got there in the end and the solution is
now deployed and working.
I <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>did<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> mean to write up the process of going from source to working
executables, but have frankly been too lazy, however I still have my
(indecipherable and meaningless to anybody else) notes on what I did.
If I can help, I will, to the extent that time permits.</pre>
