> Does it exists a version of Caml-light that can run in > a Dos box of Windows 3.1 ? The 8086 version should work fine. But it's severely limited in memory, and rather slow. In theory, all you need to run the 386 version is a VCPI-compliant memory manager. Windows only provide DPMI memory management. So, if you somehow manage to run Windows under a VCPI memory manager, Caml Light should run fine. I've heard that the latest release of QEMM might be able to do that, but that's a wild guess. > Or better, maybe there is a Windows(3.1, NT) version > of caml being worked on ? None that I know of. If anyone has some practical experience with porting Unix programs to 32-bit Windows applications, I'd like to hear about it (how hard is it, which compiler to use, etc.). - Xavier Leroy
