Find Borland Turbo C 2.x and install that under FreeDos, and you should be able to compile. First step for porting to linux would be to get rid of references to the Borland graphics library I guess.On Sun, Nov 21, 2021, 7:51 AM Nicholas Geovanis <nickgeovanis@gmail.com> wrote:On Sun, Nov 21, 2021, 6:46 AM Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@gmx.net> wrote: Hi, Hans wrote: > As far as I know, this application is written in C, it is running in > textmode ("ncurses-mode"). > [...] I wondered, ho > difficult for an experienced coder it will be, to get a DOS application > natively running in linux. [snip] Didn't Borland open-source or freeware license Turbo C++ ? The cheaper Borland C++ ? If I remember that right and you can find it, it might be the compiler that was used.
I also found this http://libxbgi.sourceforge.net/ , which claims to implement the graphics lib interface (google after "BGI", for Borland Graphics Interface) . So with that, it should be doable to tweak it to run natively under linux.
