The compiler used is DJGPP, a port of GCC that comes with a DOS extender, a POSIX-compatible C library and pretty much everything else needed to pretend that you're using a Unix system. Basically Cygwin for DOS.
- raverbashing 12y agoYeah, DJGPP is great and I think it was one of the first compilers to work in Protected Mode and take (most of) the DOS/Real mode pain away
- jacquesm 12y agoEither DJGPP or Watcom with PharLap. But regardless of who was first (they'll be pretty close, '89 or so) it was a huge step forward for programming on x86. The fact that it was free made it even more amazing.
