一直想在 UNIX 下能用到类似与 4DOS 这样优秀的 shell ,可……
7. "Porting"?!
Michal Necasek has ported 4DOS to Open Watcom C. His source code patches are now merged with mine. The port is preliminary and does not build with "standard" Open Watcom C version 1.7!
"Porting" 4DOS to Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X or another UNIX-like OS, even if it was not expressly disallowed by Rex Conn, would be very hard to do, as 4DOS is inherently a 16-bit DOS programme. You had better wait for him to port TCC (ex-4NT), but please be aware that a full port is already impossible, because just too many (mostly new) functions in TCC (ex-4NT) are NT-specific.
Alas, it seems that the UNIX-like operating systems will have to live with standard GNU shells like BASH while the power of the JP Software products will remain limited only to the [so far] ubiquitous "NT". C'est la vie! On the other hand, with the demise of Microsoft started with "Vista", nobody knows when times will change to the extent that Rex Conn could write and sell a 4NIX or 4MAC...
