I can just about understand French.

Is > this in some way availble DOZE? I'm having trouble with the last sentence. GetVersionEx() is not available under DOS AFAIK, if that's what your asking. We could extend the VDD you posted to examine the registry. One of the Eli's concerns was that we need MingW or MS VC++ to compile it. I was wondering, is it possible to build a MingW cross-compiler for DJGPP? Has anyone done this? Then we could have a completely DJGPP-hosted build environment.
