FP IDE in DOS env

I'm trying to write some pascal code on a DOS env (FreeDOS 1.0). Is the IDE for this plataform mantained?! The command line compiler does run fine, but the IDE shows up and quickly disapears.

Has anyone suffered this before?!!??

I don't know about this particular issue, but the general story applies here: The 2.0.2 IDE is very crash prone. 2.0.4 is better, but far from bug free. No 2.0 compiler has a working debugger.

However, as Jonas said, Pierre has done some work on the Dos compiler, and he got the debugger working. You might want to download a snapshot and check if that works better. If you want a better Dos release, I'd say now is the time to act: if you can help Pierre identify bugs and possible solutions we can perhaps do Dos update for the currect compiler soon.

Well, in general there are quite a few issues with 2.x FP IDE builds for GO32v2 (although the IDE released with 2.0.2 should allow editing and compilation at least, so the reported behaviour isn't really known/common). I suggest that you use on of 2.0.5 snapshots for GO32v2 available from our FTP server, that should be much better (including debugging working again). If you encounter issues with that, you can try fixing them (as part of your proposed involvement in GO32v2 platform maintenance).
