I managed to get PDOS/86 to build with Visual Studio 1.52C
yesterday.
So now both PDOS/86 and PDOS/386 can be completely
built with Microsoft tools (I use my own C library though).
I did take some shortcuts with some helper functions -
e.g. signed and unsigned divide is the same - I'll fix
that when I see that some code is actually using that
difference for a legitimate purpose, which will give me
a test case.
Not sure what I will do next. Could be:
1. Get z/PDOS to be able to run on ESA/390 (unchanged
executable).
2. Get msvcrt.dll working on win32s and above by opening
a text window.
3. Speed up booting from real floppy disk by reading
entire cylinders wherever possible.
