Welcome to the wiki.

We have a basic "compatibility database" here:

Development tools

Turbo Pascal

  • Turbo Pascal 1, 2, 3: Works ok, no install required.
  • Turbo Pascal 4: Works ok, no install required, simply copy all files to one folder (for example, tp40), and use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP40' emu2 tp40/turbo.exe
  • Turbo Pascal 5.5 and 6.0: Works ok, install instructions in the README.md file. For example, to compile "TCALC.EXE", use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP\DEMOS\TCALC' emu2 tp/tpc.exe tcalc.pas /b
  • Turbo Pascal 7.0: simpler install, as the bug in the installer was fixed, mostly works but the IDE keeps raising "memory errors". Command line compiler works, for example to compile "TVDEMO.EXE", use EMU2_CWD='C:\TP\EXAMPLES\TVDEMO' emu2 tp/bin/tpc.exe tvdemo.pas /b

Quick Basic

  • QBASIC from DOS 5.0 and upwards: Works ok, no install required.

C Compilers

  • Microsoft C 6.00: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The directory dump is portable. A little caveat, the command cl /help does not react properly to keyboard.
  • Microsoft C 1.04: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The directory dump is portable.
  • Borland C++ 2.0: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The configuration files need to be set to C:<ROOT>.
  • Turbo C 2.0: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The configuration files need to be set to C:<ROOT>.
  • Turbo C++ 1.0: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The configuration files need to be set to C:<ROOT>.
  • AZTEC C 5.2A: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The directory dump is portable. Template wrapper script for cc, where ROOT is the top aztec c directory, mapped to drive D:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]; then
    TMPDIR="/tmp/emu2-`id -u`"
fi
mkdir -p "$TMPDIR/AZTEC/TEMP"
EMU2_DRIVE_D=$ROOT 
export EMU2_DRIVE_D
EMU2_DRIVE_E="$TMPDIR/AZTEC" 
export EMU2_DRIVE_E
EMU2_PROGNAME="d:\\bin\\cc.exe" 
export EMU2_PROGNAME
emu2 "$EMU2_DRIVE_D/bin/$prog" "$@" -- \
  PATH=D:\\BIN CLIB=D:\\LIB\\ INCLUDE=D:\\INCLUDE \
  CCTEMP="E:\\TEMP\\"
  • AZTEC C 4.2B: Works ok based on an installed directory dump. The directory dump is portable. Template wrapper script for cc, where ROOT is the top aztec c directory, mapped to drive D:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]; then
    TMPDIR="/tmp/emu2-`id -u`"
fi
mkdir -p "$TMPDIR/AZTEC/TEMP"
EMU2_DRIVE_D=$ROOT 
export EMU2_DRIVE_D
EMU2_DRIVE_E="$TMPDIR/AZTEC" 
export EMU2_DRIVE_E
EMU2_PROGNAME="d:\\bin\\cc.exe" 
export EMU2_PROGNAME
emu2 "$EMU2_DRIVE_D/bin/$prog" "$@" -- \
  PATH=D:\\BIN CLIB=D:\\LIB\\ INCLUDE=D:\\INCLUDE \
  CCTEMP="E:\\TEMP\\"
