If Xavier did process the files, there should be a version of O'Caml for DOS in the usercontrib directory on inria. The DOS-version is a full port of the O'Caml for Win32 to the DOS-Environment - it includes all utilities and most of the libraries (not included are the unix and the thread library). It uses Watcom-C, the Microsoft Assembler and some not-so-much-known DOS-Extender (sorry, the Watcom-Extender DOS4GW is not usable). The bytecode-parts should be usable bye everyone, as long as you don't need -custom - if you need that, you need the DOS-extender (it's the Causeway-DOS-Extender). Should run in any DOS-box or DOS-compatible environment (even DPMI or other memory managers should be ok). Sorry that it's a bit "heavy" on needed tools, I am currently working on it. The problem is that the Watcom-compiler isn't as good as is often said - many bugs in the supporting utilities (especially the assembler, the linker and the extender). There should be a ocamlbin.exe with all binaries (selfextracting archive) and ocamlsrc.exe, which includes all needed sources and batches to rebuild the system. There is a README.DOS with more information on the port. Comments on the port are welcome. bye, Georg
