You could install the ``bcc'' package (Bruce's C compiler) for them, all is ready-to-run there. Anyway, FreeBSD still misses a vm86 mode which is required for the dosemu. By now, unless you're going to create the vm86 interface and contribute it to the system (great!), you could use pcemu from the ports if you are only interested in DOS/8086/textmode. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
