hankg, to history

In the 1990s I used DJGPP to run a small C-based Unix tool I wrote on a DOS machine. Later years Cygwin was more the way I would do cross-platform GCC stuff. I now have even more appreciation for what they needed to do behind the scenes to get DJGPP working.

I ported the plugins from to , so the next release of will contain , Sun Raster and loading/writing.

I also switched libraries and saving will be possible, too.

I also added a more sophisticated way of detecting keypresses, so creating games with keyboard input will be easier.

Things I learned yesterday: how to cross compile to / using (my nemesis) 😊

@Toxic_Flange

I use in / on Win10 for compiling, as editor and DOSBox-X and @DOSBox_Staging for testing.
I have also installed for 16bit DOS.
I have a networked AMD K6-2 500MHz with / under my desk (connected to a capture card so I don't need an extra monitor).
This setup works for me for all my projects...

#DOStodon update:

  • activated #proxy support through #curl. HTTP and SOCKS proxies should work (untested, as I don't have a proxy running)

If somebody has the means to test either HTTP or SOCKS, please tell me...

I face an interesting problem for a file selection dialog I want to create:
How do I detect which drive letters are actually available/used in #MSDOS (using either #DJGPP or a DOS/BIOS INT)?

I guess it is always safe to assume A, B and C are there?

What happens when no secondary disk drive is installed?

I found _dos_setdrive() in DJGPP and INT21 0Eh, but I'm not sure what happens when I _set_drive() with a non existing drive?
