How to test a win16 application in our test-suite

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

I'm busy fixing up version.dll, and I want to create some tests to read
resources from win16 applications. I currently have a fixed .exe in my
tests directory, but I'd like to create a 16bit .exe (or .dll) during
the creation of the tests.

Any idea's ?

I just installed 
wget http://openwatcom.mirrors.pair.com/open-watcom-win32-1.3.exe
and after starting wcmd, running setvars.bat I started binnt/ide.exe, opened
up samples/win/alarm/win16/alarm.wpj and could compile alarm.exe
cd src; wcl -l=windows hello.c
compiled a 16-bit executable (non-windows executable)
Still searching how to compile a 16-bit executable.

Perhaps this helps

OpenWatcom supports Win16 and Win32 apps and it works under Wine. Without a free 16bit compiler I
don't see anyway to do it but perhaps we could make a project for Watcom and Winetests.

Thanks

Isn't OpenWatcom open source?

Maybe SomeOne T.M. should make a winelib app out of OpenWatcom... :-P
