As I recall when the available opendos source was released there
was a reference to "several compilers" being needed to compile it.
I understand that Borland released several of their old compilers
as museum pieces:
  Turbo Pascal: 1.0, 3.02, 5.5
  Turbo C: 1.0, 1.5, 2.01
at link:

I was wondering which other compilers are needed to compile the
available opendos sources?  Maybe I could take a crack at it for
fun.

Also, what new developments have been made in DRDOS of late.  I can
see my FAT32 drive under DRDOS under DOSEMU with Caldera OL 2.2, but
what has become of the LFN TSR that was being developed and is there
a plan for FAT32 support for DRDOS?  I am still trying to figure out
how to make the DOSEMU DRDOS boot image writable.  I would like to be
able to run the DOS32 version of Vim (text editor) but it does not 
run under DOSEMU as is. :(

Also, the venerable Cleveland Freenet, first of its kind in the nation,
is calling it quits after 13 years at the end of September.  Yet another
text-mode system fades into memory.  Any pointers on changing e-mail
addresses for subscriptions to this list?
