Good afternoon/afternoon/evening netters ! I have several questions concerning programming in 386 protected mode. Does anyone have any experience of either the Intel 386 C code builder, or the (significantly more expensive) Watcom C8.0/386. Any feelings for reliability, quality of support etc ? What produces the best code ? Or should I be thinking of something totally different ? The requirement does not necessarily need a DOS extender, just a protected mode environment, since the application will never have any need to use DOS facilities itself. Do any of the above or other 386 development tools available provide such a thing, or do you always need a DOS extender ? It is possible to do interrupt handling in protected mode with either of the above kits, or do they still hand all that on to the DOS extender ? Many thanks in advance, -- - Colin Manning, cm%jet.uucp@ukc.ac.uk (world) OR cm@jet.uucp (UK only) ------------------------------ Disclaimer: Please note that the above is a personal view and should not be construed as an official comment from the JET project.
