malxau / os2api Goto Github PK

I enjoy OS/2 as a hobby. I am not anti-Visual Studio 1.5. However, I was wondering why you chose VS 1.5 over Visual Age for your OS/2 and DOS projects.

Just to know, osFree subproject FAPI has similar goals. https://github.com/osfree-project/FamilyAPI/tree/master. Most of code is mine and I can change license to MIT. Will be good to join projects.

Things presented in osFree Family API:

1. Implementation of most 1.x API subset for DOS. Some works, some not. Need testing and fixing. Includes implementation of API which not present in original MS Family API.
2. Documentation of most API's at http://osfree.org/doku/en:docs:fapi
3. Target compiler is a Open Watcom 1.9, JWasm, so it can be easely adopted to MASM and MSVC

Most of API implemented in assembler with small parts of C code (because DOS EXE size is matter). Uses underline library MacroLib which presents MASM/JWASM macros compatable (mostly) with original MS MASM and IBM ALP macros.

First goal, as in your project, create DOS library FAPI.LIB to link with DOS executable (no BIND usage).
