These Tools used to be compiled with djgpp, allowing them to be executed both on DOS and Windows. However, they were thus considered as 16 bits applications, although they were compiled as 32 bits applications. As such, they required the CWSDPMI 32-bits extender in order to be run on DOS. Problem is that modern versions of Windows can't execute 16-bits applications anymore. I guess very few people have a use for DOS nowadays, so the Euphoric Tools collection will now be compiled as true 32-bits Windows Command Line applications. This way, they can be used on all 32-bits Windows versions, and also on current 64-bits Windows version (thanks to the Windows-on-Windows system)... ...

...Remarks for the DOS version: It is also a funny example of a game system almost fully in Ada, including sound driver, graphics driver, keyboard driver. The only things not in Ada there are the file system (MS-DOS), the 32-bit DOS extender (CWSDPMI) and the mouse driver. For running, I recommend DOSBox. For building from sources, you'll need the DJGPP compiler, which contains a version of GNAT - seems to be still updated as in June 2016 ! Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/engine-3d

Win32 hosted tools to cross compile to DJGPP v2 (CWSDPMI) for MS-DOS. The primary reason is to be able to cross compile Allegro 3.12 using GCC 2.7.2.3 & Binutils 2.8.1. Later versions of GCC / Binutils are unable to build Allegro which leads to people either compiling on DOSBox which is incredibly slow, or just giving up all together. So party like it's 1996!

Provides detailed hardware info and diagnoses individual portions of hardware. Runs ideally on DOS, but can run on Win3.1 or Win9x as well (with some restrictions). Requires DJGPP to build the package and CWSDPMI as DPMI host.
