Hello everyone!

I want to know if Turbo C/C++ 2.01 for DOS is a suitable compiler for developing my kernel.

P.S. Incase you couldn't tell by my name my OS is going to be called AOSS (which stands for Amateurs Operating System Software). And you'll never guess what platform i'm developing for

P.P.S. The whole day today I spent developing a boot strap (I know, i'm stupid for developing that instead of my kernel first) that is compatible with the FAT12 file system and loads a file called KERNEL.SYS off of the disk.

wow is it working with fat12 because if so thats a great start for a beginner

and yes turboc will work and it iwll work way better if you also have tasm

i used it tomake my first 16bit os

but (afaik) it is 16bit RMode only (no PMode -- which has many advantages)

I did my bootstrap first :-p
