Real MS-DOS (as opposed to Windows 95 with the GUI removed) doesn't support long file names. Period. So that code will never work on MS-DOS, indeed, it cannot exist in that form on MS-DOS. OTOH, there is no need for the code to have long file names. Just copying it to a MS-DOS system will change the names to 8.3 form, and you can compile them that way. (Not as easy, you have to tell the tolls what you're doing.) As far as compiling the Code on bare MS-DOS -- I'll be happy to sell you a copy of Janus/Ada 83 for MS-DOS (16-bit) or Janus/Ada 95 for MS-DOS (32-bit with extender). I know of no other MS-DOS solution that is still supported, and I don't think you can even get any other MS-DOS 16-bit compiler. Randy Brukardt (R.R. Software, Inc.)
