Is there a definitive DOS version of FTE?
Someone on freedos-user was asking recently. I found a few copies in my local archives, and I did point them to rr's 2008 port hosted here on BTTR. I know I was also mentioning Japheth's LOADPEX DOS builds too, which also seem to work well.
Is there a specific known "latest greatest" or preferred version? |

OW's DOS32P branch ( DOS4/GW and compatibles ): 90 sec
OW's Win32 branch or DJGPP: 2-3 sec --- MS-DOS forever! |

How much time it during? (approximately) --- Make DOS great again!

After a bug in HX's Win32 emulation code has been fixed (see here), I updated the FTE DOS binaries created with OW 2.0 and MSVC 7.1. The FTE Shell/Run commands should now work ok for MS-DOS versions < 7 ( I haven't tested FreeDOS yet ).
P.S.: Also tried other OW 2.0 DOS32 variants of FTE:
- DOS4G/W: unstable
- PModeW: unstable
- CauseWay: stable
P.P.S.: And finally tried the DJGPP makefile supplied with FTE: got a few warnings and the result is unstable if the program runs as VCPI client and CWSDPMI is used as DPMI host (the default).
The test was
a) to load a 108 MB text file with 1.5 mio lines
b) run FTE's Shell/Run cmds

FWIW, I uploaded the CVS repo here. Other than for archival purposes, I don’t really care about this editor much. |

Cool, thanks! - alas, it's the makefile only, no source.
Anyway, I could recompile the whole thing and create binaries for both DPMI and Win32.
Here's a (new) makefile for MSVC & HX. It has been modified a bit so the object modules and binaries are no longer written into the source directory: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/Testcases/blob/main/fte.zip
A (minor) bug has been fixed: s_files.cpp did include "unistd.h" unconditionally, but MS VC++ doesn't know this include ( at least not the version that I used ). --- MS-DOS forever! |

No, it's not lost, I had it on an old backup drive, check here:

I once recompiled FTE for HX, using VisualC++ 2003 Toolkit - with 2 or 3 bugs fixed ( one was a crash when one exits FTE while "horizontal split" is still active ). Regrettably the changes and the makefile I used are lost. The only thing that survived is a FTE binary in Win32 format ( dated 01/2009 ). --- MS-DOS forever! |
