DOS ain't dead - 32-bit MSDOS

32-bit MSDOS (Announce)

I realized that I could test jwasm.

Here is what happened:

A:\]

Don't worry about the warnings, that's just
something I like to know.

But yes, CreateEventA is something I need to
add to my kernel32.c in order to get jwasm
to work.

This is Windows crap that I really have no
interest in. MSDOS doesn't do that.

I have no idea why an assembler would have
a requirement to create events, whatever
that even means. It's supposed to be reading
in a text file and outputting a single binary
file. Nothing more. You don't need more than
C90 to do that.

If I can create a dummy CreateEventA that
just returns "success" and does nothing,
that's fine.

It depends what Watcom's C library is trying
to achieve.

PDPCLIB doesn't do things like that. I use
PDPCLIB.
