For compile using openwattcom 1.6 it' s requised watc.mak file.
In last version it's not supplied (only watcw32.mak).
It's possible use and old version (ie. s 7.05) file watc.mak for new version.
Or exist a site for download the watc.mak file for comile in dos 32 bit?

thanks

Now I banned "iw2evk" for his repeated top-posts. Sorry, but you have been warned.

A little top-posting never killed anybody. I hope it's only temporary.

P.S. No, AFAIK, there is no DOS port or developer support towards that end for newer Ghostscripts.

Correct on both counts. The only v8.xx for DOS that I know of is Michael Kostylev's 8.55, based on official 8.54 source. Available at http://mik.mkw.ru/dos-stuff/.

You banned him for so innocent sin?! They why didn't you ban me, who:

1. Used bad language.
2. Indirectly insulted you.
3. Always promised to leave but didn't
4. Admitted to be a big criminal, and
5. Suggested to be banned himself?

Please ban me instead, and restore Roberto as an user. This will be much more just!

> You banned him for so innocent sin?!

Yes.

> They why didn't you ban me,

I had hoped, you're old enough for correct behaviour. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes not.

> Please ban me instead, and restore Roberto as an user. This will be much
> more just!

Nope. If you don't want to be here, just go away.

I doubt that was lucho who wrote that.

If not lucho, then someone who has managed to hijack his registration.

It definitely was "lucho".

But you finally did it. You BANNED Lucho, and you did this without letting us know.

Don't spread lies. I did NOT ban "lucho".

Lucho thought that he was banned and perhaps he had reasons for this. OTOH if someone believes in what he says, he is not a liar even if what he says turns to be untrue.

Lucho asked to be banned, and rr responded with "Nope. If you don't want to be here, just go away."

How is that banning?

If possible for you, please try to think a little more before replaying.
You often replay without understanding what it's all about.

> Don't spread lies. I did NOT ban "lucho".

Lucho will try to post again today. If he will find his board user account blocked, as it was yesterday, it means that he is REALLY banned.

What a lovable boy! After his slender he doesn't waste a thought to apologize but just comes up with another complaint. Absolutely, Kushy, we all see that you were treated unfair. What will you accept as satisfaction from the admin?

You don't answer my question, and attack me for asking. I can only conclude that you do not have an honest answer.

Man, finally understand that I didn't block Lucho's account!!
So don't blame me, but ask yourself or Lucho, what he did wrong.

EDIT: Lucho's last login time: "28.11.2007, 11:38". I don't know, why you call this banning or blocking.

I don't blame you as long as I don't know which is the truth. I just expressed Lucho's feelings.

This was the last time he could post. He affirms that later he found his board account blocked.

Tell him to create another account then. We've still got 30 days of DOS goodness to proclaim! It'll be the best Christmas of all!

You did! Quote: "You BANNED Lucho..."

OK, you finally made me laugh, so having pity on you I decided to hire you as my jester. As your qualities are rather low, I think you'll be happy with a miserable wage.

> Last login now: "29.11.2007, 10:08".

I tried to write something but when I pressed "preview" it vanished again, as it did yesterday, and I was "thrown out" from the forum. So I thought I was banned but today I remembered that I had changed the password here. So I could login now but then was again thrown away just like yesterday after I composed my post. There may be a time-out after which I'm thrown out automatically, so I'll avoid posting here, which anyway causes me a much waste of time fighting with enemies. I need too much time to compose anything as English isn't my native language. So I regret I came here in the first place and wish you happy funeral of the forum.

Yes, there's some time-out, but I still don't know exactly, where it comes from. There are too many things involved (Apache, PHP, mlf, web browser).

You said so more than once, but always come back.

Thanks, but there will be no funeral. Probably Udo's board will die first... Wait, Udo's board is already dead, because it has only 3-4 active users.

I will miss you, hypo, your presence here was always appreciated. After all, you made me learn several things, the most important of which is that there exists no limits for human beings in foolishness.

I don't know what "mlf" is, but I think that it's a PHP session delay.

...as much as I don't want to. But I'm just forced to refute the piles of lies!

Oh, you're jealous to Udo's board? Not surprised!

It'd be dead it it had no active users. Now it barely flickers, but is alive, and the users loyal to Udo will blow more life in it once your forum passes away.

I understand. The loyal users will make "Udo's forum" to contain life again. Good to hear! However, one question arises: will it be "intelligent life"?

mlf = my little forum (this forum software)

We don't force you. It's just all in your head.

In fact.

I'm not jealous about Udo's lousy board software or any content there, but you repeat and repeat and repeat, that it is heaven for good DOS users.

Good luck!

It just will not pass away. Yes, it's that easy. So burry Udo's forum now.

Really? Why then, and not now? Is the BTTR forum sucking up Udo's bandwidth?

Nonsense! In fact, Udo, without doing anything, has already defeated you!
And do you know why? Because you made a fatal error: made A. Grech your friend.

No, but now we're busy here refuting your lies. Besides, we're not too active on Udo's forum yet, lest we miss the funeral of yours (you'll invite us to it, won't you?)

I've known this for a very long time, but now you only prove it once again with your behaviour.
