Lcc for DOS

[chrisrodri...@gmail.com]

Is there a version of Lcc for DOS? I've got this 3 year old computer,
and want to use it for something, but it runs DOS, and doesn't like
ANYTHING USB. I have a floppy drive and a CD drive, and thats about
it. I can't compile Lcc from Win32 to DOS, I tried. DOS freezes when
it attempts to load the GUI. Can I issue a command line argument to
Lcc, and if not, how do I get it to run in DOS? DEBUG.EXE only works
on Assembler files, and those are too time consuming. Any response
would be helpful. Thanks

lcc runs only in 32 bits. DOS is a 16 bits operating system.
It was discontinued more than 15 years ago. If your machine
is only 3 years old, install windows, and you can use it
for something

Check out DJGPP, which runs very nicely under DOS and handles the
32 bit systems, such as GCC. It requires at least a 386 on which
to run, which you will have.

I think the access point is <www.delorie.com>.

Old versions of LCC (before Jacob's LCC-Win32 variant and before Pelles C
variant) compiled for DOS. Specifically, versions 3.5 and 3.6. IIRC, 3.6
had some of the DOS code removed. These required NASM and Borland C++. I
know these versions use or can use Borland's DPMI server, so they produce
32-bit code. I'm unsure as to whether they can generate 16-bit code. IIRC,
DOS support in later versions was removed for C99 compliance. However, I
have seen LCC retargeted machine descriptions for 8/16-bit (e.g., Qirien
Dhaela's "Magic-1").

However, there are a few active compilers that still support DOS: DJGPP,
OpenWatcom, LadSoft's CC386. DJGPP and CC386 are 32-bit, i.e., they use a
DPMI host and/or DOS Extender. OpenWatcom will produce both 16-bit and
32-bit DOS code.
