There is no response to www.abwillms.demon.co.uk/prog/ neither
www.taniwha.org.
there is another solution to load a program WITH GRIB ?
thanks for your help.

oops it's with GRUB and not GRIB !!

There are others out there in the wild too, of course, perhaps even
GRUB4DOS would work??

Apparently I didn't download his kernel.zip file, only others:

Most of that is obsolete or won't compile (I didn't try) anyways.
However, it seems kernel2.zip was mirrored correctly by
WayBack! :-) But it may have issues with newer BinUtils.

In old NG messages, Bill says he extended djasm. He wasn't sure if changes
ever made it into djasm proper. Those changes may be of interest to you.
Well, it seems the djpy.zip is widely available, usually where Python is.
I'm not sure if this is the same package as his. Search for "djpy.zip".
Of course, the Henrik Haftmann LFN driver, or Jason Hood variants, should
probably be used instead of Bill Currie's lfn.zip.

And, Alexei Frounze also has some COFF related utils for DJGPP in "COFF

Could you please make this available somewhere? I'd like to look into
the Python-related stuff which seems to be part of this.
TIA

... seems to mention various changes of his being incorporated into
stock DJGPP.

It doesn't look like his work, just a generic way of compiling Python
with DJGPP (2.01). I personally didn't try it, too old!

Apparently, Martin S. hacked it a bit, so he would know more, but
AFAICT, it was always buggy. (To be honest, I almost like StarLFN's
idea better as it doesn't directly access the hard drive, uses
LONGNAME.DAT, hence should be patent free, heh. But it has some very
small incompatibilities with various DOSes by default. I never pushed
myself to mess with it too much.)
Eli : "Could you please make this available somewhere? I'd like to

It's very very old Python, and I think it's meant for his editor, but
since it was all sources (no .EXEs) and really old, I didn't feel the
need to torture myself trying to compile it. But sure, I'll upload it
for ya.

Thanks! I knew he had something useful (and knew you knew, heh), but I
couldn't find it myself!

result is with grub and simpleos found on
http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/index.php?showtopic=24959
it's an example with djgpp. it's a little program. But I can't used
cwsdpmi function. I continue to seek.

Hrmm... I don't remember that. Possibly. But I don't know more
(nowadays) about it.

Prior to HH's LFN driver, I was partial to Chris Jones' LFNDOS. I did a bit
of work updating it, fixing bugs, and I merged in some patches he posted
elsewhere.
I had also considered creating a hack-job "cut-n-paste" LFN TSR from Odi's
(Ortwin Glueck) LFN tools, since they seem to work _really_ well with LFN's.
But, I didn't want to track down MSVC 1.52c (or whatever...) and attempt to
then port to DJGPP. I haven't looked at his code, but I still suspect that
either he or the C compiler was using some additional undocumented
features... They are very fast with LFN's - i.e., no "bog" down with large
amount of LFN data. His tools seems to do things behinds the scenes with
LFN's without accessing the disk. (a ramdisk? accessing internal DOS
structures? undocumented DOS calls? ...) I've found LCOPY to be useful.
LREN is on occasion also. The 179 version is on Sourceforge. I have a few
of the older versions too.
