The RxDOS distributed on the FreeDOS mirror is licensed under the GNU GPL. (This and the fact that it's done in Assembly only led me to choose it over FreeDOS and (E)DR-DOS.)

Sorry, I didn't know that JWasm just mimics Masm's option here. So it's ok the old RxDOS won't compile with JWasm.

Just for curious, did it throw the same errors I reported? (I tryed compiling RXDOS.ASM, first source file of RXDOS.SYS.)
