If anyone reading has access to versions 9, 9.01, or 9.5B, I'd really appreciate you getting in touch here or using the info in my profile. I want the version of the compiler that was used to build the original Doom, which shipped in 1993 and was patched in 1994/1995.
In addition to this archive.org bundle, versions 7.0, 8.5a and 9.5 are floating around. Looking at compiler output for standard library functions, it seems DOOM.EXE was compiled with one of the in-between versions.
- scruffyherder 6y agoYou'd probably find this interesting: https://bitbucket.org/maraakate/doomnew-for-dos/src/master/ https://bitbucket.org/maraakate/doomnew-for-dos/src/master/ I believe that there is patch disks for the 9.5 to bring it to 9.5a and 9.5b? C32_B.ZIP Update for Watcom C/C++, 32-Bit, PatchLevel B Stuff like this is all over arhive.org as well.. I've been searching for the original Phar Lap 386 stuff along with 1st gen 386 Watcom for years..
- andrewf 6y agoThanks. On reflection, I have something that identifies as "9.5" but it might be 9.5B. I've found C32_B.ZIP and I suppose I can try to compare it against the install. I'm quite confident I don't have 9.5A! I've been watching eBay for years and only ever see boring SQL products and the same tshirt.
- scruffyherder 6y agoI found the non surprising names of c16_a.zip and c32_a.zip ... like all crap on the internet it’s a matter of knowing the magical patterns of what you want (lol assuming that you knew what you wanted!) I almost bought that stupid shirt to just get it off of fleabay but I fear that they have more than one....
