The following things may be of interest to the board:

1. A public domain (genuine PD, explicit noitice) C runtime library, for DOS, Win32, OS/2, MVS (24-bit and 31-bit), OS/390, z/OS, VM/CMS.

2. A public domain operating system for the x86 and x386, designed to be a clone of MSDOS, except coming in both 16-bit and 32-bit variants.

Both available from:

http://pdos.sourceforge.net

PDOS 0.86 and PDPCLIB 0.84 are the two version numbers that have just been released.

BFN. Paul.

There's also PDCLIB, intended to be a proper implementation of the full C library. I'm not sure what Solar thought wrong with yours but I think it was a part of the C89/C99 official support items that not many people use.

FYI, there are also other PD projects, such as my own. I'm not aiming for MSDOS compatibility but rather a new design, but it's PD nonetheless (or whatever my local laws will allow me to release it as with the least amount of restrictions possible).

Nice to see you around though.
