Hi Andrew,

this sounds very interesting but I think there are probably some limitations one has to be aware of. 

One of my programs uses a VESA driver. I assume this will not work with your MinGW port of djgpp. Plus I made a keyboard and mouse driver which call the BIOS to read the required data. Can you make BIOS calls on 64bit Windows? Or do I have to replace these with standard DOS calls to make that work?

I also use WattTCP for network access based on a packet driver. Will that work with your port?

I am asking out of interest, not intending to be critical.

Georg
