Remember me?  :-)  Yeah, about a year ago I hacked Seed7 to (barely)
work with DJGPP, at least the interpreter.

Long story short: I'm no comp. sci. major, I don't really know what
I'm doing, just too bored and curious for my own good ... too busy
with other crud, procrastinate too much, did spent a bit of time
learning bits of other languages (but, for no apparent reason, not
Seed7 ... yet, sorry!!), had some computer woes, some personal crud,
etc. I still browsed here (comp.lang.misc) occasionally and usually
downloaded the latest Seed7 sources but never did anything (though I
did notice you added a DJGPP makefile a few months back).

The Salmon guy was bragging about how portable his language was. Well,
long story short, it didn't work for me. I honestly didn't even want
to bother him with my opinions as I didn't think he cared. (Silly me
for including DOS under the portable spectrum, heheh.) And then I
figured I might as well give yours a go again (even if I failed), esp.
since I'd had partial success before.

The big problem with ANSI C (from my very weak perspective) is that,
while clearly being a huge success and accomplishing a lot, people
just "think" everything is portable when it's not. Basically you can't
assume anything. And the big problems in my book are always build-
related moreso than anything else. I hate complicated *nix makefiles
(usually relying on dozens of POSIX tools) or anything that relies on
a specific file system. That was also an issue here. I don't honestly
expect anyone to cater to "obsolete" file systems or OSes (like DOS),
but ... it would still be nice to not so heavily rely on
Super_long_filenames_that_conflict_in_first_eight_chars.TXT. More
importantly is weird things like makefiles, e.g. ones that have lines
greater than 1024 chars (eek). That is *very* rare in my experience,
though I've noticed GNU Emacs, Salmon, and now Seed7 doing it. Believe
it or not, my favorite text editor (TDE) seems to munge lines longer
than that, which is a curious error when you don't know what or how or
why. Ugh. (So I temporarily used VILE, works great!)

Basically my XP machine is half-dead, so I can't use that (though I
could use aunts' one night if really needed). I ended up running under
native FreeDOS w/ DOSLFN loaded. Not ideal as some things don't work
as well, if at all, but here it basically worked (surprisingly) ...
after a few minor tweaks. Yeah, I really should've tried this earlier,
but you never asked / nagged / emailed, so I didn't.

It mostly (but not fully) seems to work. I can't remember why DJGPP
will sometimes say "No swap space!" That's kinda weird, normally it's
obvious, but here it wasn't. (Yeah, I know, strerror() is the likely
culprit, but I didn't look any closer than that.)

Anyways, I hope this isn't too too long a reply, but here's the diff
for the Makefile (mandatory!) and (partially successful) output of "/
prg/hi chk_all":
