Old Watcom Projects (16-bit)

This repository contains some of my old Watcom projects from 2019 year, which were ugly written. The purpose of this repository is to archive them here on GitHub.

What is included in this repo?

Four most interesting projects I found on my old PC's drive image, that deserved archiving on GitHub:

  • ASCIIConverter (simple 1250 ANSI to 852 ASCII converter)
  • Charmap_DOS (simple charmap display)
  • Eksperyment6 (meaning Experiment 6; simple inline assembly experiment and sound generation program)
  • FoxCodeConverter_DOS (my very simple encoding algorithm implementation)

What to use to compile this codes?

The codes provided here were made to compile using Open Watcom IDE, which is quite good for modern MS-DOS/WfW3.11 development. It's possible that they would compile using old Microsoft compilers, but I haven't tested it. It's best to use Watcom for them. In fact, these projects are heavily tied to Watcom coding style, so I think there might be serious problems with compiling them outside such environment.

Additional information

The codes provided here are very old - there are yet from 2019 year. I was a bit different back then. ;) Please don't take it much seriously, when You decide to read some of the texts included in those very old programs - I think I was thinking like a teenager back then. ;)

Disclaimer

I've made much effort to provide here working and checked codes with hope it will be useful. However, these codes are provided here "AS IS", with absolutely no warranty! I take no responsibility for using them - DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!

Codes provided here are free for personal use. If you like to use any part of these codes in your software, just please give me some simple credits and it will be okay. ;) In case you would like to make paid software and use parts of these codes - please, contact me before.
