I was compiling the pcb source on a Win98 machine and found some bugs in
the makefiles. Here's a patch:

the makefiles. Here's a patch:

diff -Nru a/bbs/dev/pcb/dev/lib/source/dos/makefile b/bbs/dev/pcb/dev/lib/so

there's something called pastebin that's great for stuff like this.

What's wrong with the way he did it? It's not very long, no need for
Pastebin on something like that.

Now.... the real question is.... who in their right mind would even
*DREAM* about running such a patch, given that the poster is unknown, and doesn't even bother to describe/explain the "bugs" in question...?

Not me, for one.

They're makefile fixes I missed when changing the build system compiler.
The pcboard executable fails when built with Turbo C++ 3.0, but Borland
C++ 3.1 makes it work.

It's a small patch any good programmer can read and apply by hand to the
DOS build system. The Illuminati will understand. :-)

Okay, so here is my question -- where did you find the PCB source code
at? Or are you now the new developer? :)

It was floating around on the net for a few years, but those links are
dead now. Not many people care anymore. I, Corey, and maybe one other
are all I know of.

I tinker with it now and then. All that kludgy EMS, XMS, DPMI, Intel
x86 segemented architecture fascinate me. I can party all night with
Turbo Debugger :-)

So got a place where one can get a copy of what you've worked on so far?

Yes but you will need some hints to get started with it. Email me for
details.
