Using the MS-DOS 4 release to compile programs
Someone had asked me if it was possible to use the Microsoft MS-DOS 4.00 source code release to compile new programs.
And that's an interesting question, because as I showed in my other video at the time, the BAK (the Binary Adaptability Kit) includes a C compiler and an assembler so it could compile the source code.
So the short answer is Yes, you can use the Microsoft C compiler they included in the source code release to compile your own programs. The C compiler is provided as binary only, no source code, but it's a working C compiler.
So let's look at how you can use the C compiler there to compile your own programs.
