A few answers-to-answers... calling for other information... 1) MOSS I know a bit about MOSS. I chose not to use it because; I already started sucessful works with djgpp, I don't know any application under MOSS (tell me your experience), it's very important to me to have the same base of tools (gcc 2.7.2 and co) for all our targets (msdos/WinX/sunos) and I must admit I was too lazy to really test the stuff. 2) Long file names, Brekpoint and slow file access. On the different systems, I can sometime gdb things. The problem is that I must have a usable gdb on all the systems (unfortunately some bugs appear with a system, not with the other, as usual...). By the way, what's the reason why LFN don't work in msdos box under NT? Is there anything to do? And about file access on breakpoints, Eliz, feel free to make your patch available... 3) Remote gdb I work with gdb-4.16. I believe the work must be done in two parts. Building a gdb on the unix workstation, then the stub for msdos. I built a "gdb --target=i386-msdos-go32" without much problems (patch in configure.in), which I can't use (and even test) as is of course. Is it enough for the first part? As you can see I don't know much about gdb... Sorry. I'll look as soon as possible in details in the doc I received. Another thing... How do I test my current work (the above, works on djgpp filesystem extensions, tcp/ip links, etc.)? Any addition information is welcome... Thank you --Laurent
