China DOS Union

Actually, I still don't want any module to depend on protected mode, so I want to port... But I haven't seen a running ReactOS yet. If you have one, can you grab a screenshot and show it to me? I have many questions and will start a special thread to ask for advice later. Please, asbai, don't be stingy with your guidance then!

Take a close look at the DOS box, your name is typed there. You won't suspect that I found it randomly on the Internet, right

There was a period when the forum was inaccessible, so I didn't come to read the posts. Recently, I've been too busy.
Only now did I test it, and I'm very sorry~~~ I'm sorry everyone!!!
My question is about the two addresses released by Wengier. Why are there 2. Can I combine them? Will there be an error? I think it should be possible to put them together. Can I?
Also, I want to make a floppy disk or USB bootable HXDOS system. But how to make an IMG?

Thank you everyone. I'm bringing this post up again to discuss, and I must thoroughly understand it. Thank you everyone!
HXRT: http://www.japheth.de/Download/HXRT.ZIP
HXGUI: http://www.japheth.de/Download/HXGUI.ZIP

HXRT: Runtime library
HXGUI: Additional GUI support library, based on HXRT.

The two can be merged for use together. The reason they are provided separately is that many programs only need CLI support and not GUI, so HXGUI is provided as a separate additional component. There are detailed instructions on the http://www.japheth.de/ website and in the ZIP package you downloaded. Please develop the good habit of reading the documentation before asking questions

I don't quite understand your second question, sir. If you can make a general bootable IMG or bootable USB drive, there's no special operation needed to include HX. If you don't know how to make a bootable IMG at all, then this isn't an HX-related question . There are plenty of posts in the forum about making boot images~

Today at work, I tested, and it failed miserably. Only THREAD.EXE was normal, and there were many other exceptions. Some prompted that it couldn't run under DOS. Facepalm!!

The specific environment is like this. I used the FREEDOS32 IMG provided by the forum to make a boot floppy. Added PATH in AUTOEXEC.bat, added paths like windows\system32;bin;test, unspp, etc. Then after booting with the floppy and directly running the test program, it didn't work because I was using the freedos kernel..

I also tested with Microsoft DOS6.0, and it was still abnormal.

I want to figure out, is HX DOS its own kernel?? Or does it support copying to HDD and then using PATH, the documentation introduces how to use the test program, and some introductions of dll files..

My idea is, if I support extracting the things in http://www.japheth.de/Download/HXRT.ZIP to FLPPY, can it be used? This can't start, so there is my second question, which is how it is installed..

There are still many problems, first help me take a look at the above, thank you!! A bit confused oh!!

HX itself certainly doesn't have a kernel. After all, it's a program running under DOS and requires the DOS kernel. It's recommended to test with MS-DOS 7.1 for the DOS kernel to ensure compatibility (don't test with FreeDOS, I've tried and there are some issues). Then you can use HX.

More importantly, there's a problem with the path settings above. As stated in the document, never put windows\system32 before bin in PATH, otherwise there will definitely be problems. It's recommended to have the following order: bin;test;windows\system (preferably the system directory of Win9x, not system32 of XP).

The upstairs is correct. The one upstairs from the upstairs, please don't miss any words when reading the document

My English level is poor. Now I understand. Thanks to the upstairs and the upstairs of the upstairs...

It turns out it uses the kernel of MS-DOS! Then I'll make a MS-DOS boot disk, and then set the PATH path, and then I can run 32-bit programs! Hmm, I'll try it tomorrow!!!

Take a look, thank you

Ask, how can VB Form or VC MFC run under DOS? (HXRT doesn't seem to work!)

Two .dll files are missing
