DOS ain't dead

Nano-X/NXlib and FLTK for DOS (Announce)

First, just to say a short hello as this is my first message on this forum. :)

Anyway, I copied the contents of your lib and DJGPP archives to my dosemu setup. DJGPP did work and compiled nxlib demos, but broke at trying to compile FLTK demos with an "out of memory" error. The binaries that actually did compile wouldn't run on DOSEmu. Strangely enough, they ran (rather slowly) on DosBox. I don't think it's got anything to do with my setup, as I was able to run many needy DOS apps (and games) quite successfully under DOSEmu. It might be possible that this requires a bit more modern machine. For example, a Pentium+ with a great deal of RAM. But that's just a wild guess. Has anyone tried it on a physicall DOS install whith lower specs than Georg's? If you have, what were the machine's specs and did it work?

I read this forum for a long time (haven't tried to register before) and I know It would be better to answer some questions precautionary. :) No, I can't afford a dedicated DOS partiton, especially because I won't be using it very often. Usually, DOSEmu is more than enough for my needs.
