Well for programs compiled with FreePascal (FPC) you need a 386 and dpmi support. The same is true with GNU Pascal (GPC), I think. Is there any free 16Bit Pascal Compiler? (I mean "free" not "for free") (FYI: I didn't try them on FreeDOS yet, but I use both Compilers under Linux: FPC is more compatible to Borland Pascal, while GPC is more concerned with the ISO/ANSI Pascal standards; FPC seems to produce the better result and comes with more additional stuff) Links: http://www.freepascal.org/ http://www.us.freepascal.org/ (US-mirror) http://www.gnu-pascal.de/ -- Tschuess Andreas
