Is there any development going on with the 16-bit version? The latest 16bit version I can find is nearly 6 years old. I'm doing a lot of menu building for a bootable CD project I'm working on so I am limited to DOS, but there are just some things that would make my code a lot cleaner if I could use some other methods that are available to the 32-bit version. Not really things that need a 32-bit environment either.

To my point, right now the ONLY thing I want is to be able to use SELECT CASE statements rather than nested IFs.

Any help would be appreciated! [Cool]

The KiXtart v2.33 16-bit version is the latest available version. There is no more 16-bit development planned as 16-bit OSes are no longer supported anyway.

You should look into WinPE to replace DOS for installation processes.

Well, he didn't really say he needed it for a pre-installation environment.

Anyway, I recently used the Euphoria language to to some DOS32 programming. Even included some of the graphic libraries to make some GUI windows.

Euphoria is open source and the compiler is freeware. See http://www.rapideuphoria.com for more details.

Once upon a time, I used to use a DOS Menuing system that is still available today. [Smile]

Yeah that does look pretty cool. So does the one that Chris is talking about. It is free and lets you do some pretty cools screens as well.
