DOS ain't dead

On 27 May 2008 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of FreeBSD's Col revision 1.17 using DJGPP version 2.04 beta. Col is a small utility for filtering reverse (and half reverse) line feeds from input. You may find it useful in processing the output of GNU roff. I decided not to port the latest revision, because I don't need wide char support. Binaries (col) and plain text manuals are available as col117b.zip, but I only tested the col -bx part. Fully configured sources plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are in col117s.zip.

To make Col sources compile in DJGPP I use a slightly modified version of Kragen Javier Sitaker's err.h.
