Either DXE and DLM are DJGPP-specific and that is not acceptable for OpenDOS
(it wouldn't be *that* 'Open', would it? ;-)). But, since the drivers in
OpenDOS can work entirely in PM (thanks to DPMS), I think there's nothing to
prevent adapting one of the 32-bit relocatable formats (LE | PE)
^DJGPP - 32 bit compiler for THE programmer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&
Have you ever woke up swearing in the middle of the night?
You search the darkness and you scramble for the light.
Have you ever walked down the street, heard footsteps following you?
Don't worry my son, you've got the spooks all looking after you.
