Hi people,
I've noticed the following: an EXE compiled under a DOS box
(using COMMAND.COM, not CMD.EXE) in XP-pro results in a different
exe than a compile under Win98 DOS (real-mode). I have PB 3.5 on
my machine which means that i need at least 1 FAT partition. I've
been messing around with this to see if PB 3.5 can safely be run from
XP-pro (meaning, produce good EXE's) so i can convert to NTFS.
I compared the 2 exe's using FC.exe /B. Their size is the same but
the contents are slightly different. Anybody have any comments/tips
on this? Am i best of using my Win98 DOS bootflop or can i produce
PB 3.5 exe's in a XP-pro DOS box? thanx for anything on this.
