So what's this anyway?

• WDOSX is a 32-bit DOS extender with support for several executable formats, including PE with DLL support.
  Note: WDOSX is a separate project.
• It also comes with some Win32 API emulation code which allows to create 32-bit DOS programs with compilers (like Delphi) which do not support DOS at all. (of course this assumes that the API functions of the runtime library are available in a "DOS version")
• Naturally graphical functions, GUI, registry, OLE, COM, etc. are _not_ available at all.
• The goal of this project is to make the usage of Delphi 4-7 with WDOSX flawless and to allow the usage of CLX (eg. you can use the Delphi IDE to design forms, etc.).
• At the moment an interface between CLX and a modified version of Turbo Vision is available with the basic components (labels, buttons, edit boxes, list boxes, etc.).
• This means that your forms will be shown in a text-mode environment, see the screen-shot below, it contains the form as shown in the Delphi form designer and the output in the resulted DOS application.
• Later a real graphical interface will also be available.
• DWPL also provides some features which are normally not available for DOS programs, for example it implements cooperative threads.
• Recently a complete TCP/IP stack implementation and other networking stuff has been added.
• And of course there are lots of minor features, actually DWPL is based on a modified WDOSX version (to provide long filename/Unicode/variants/... support), plus there are a bunch of utility units, etc.
• Finally, DWPL also has some native Win32 support, which allows easy source-level debugging of programs that do not contain low-level stuff (eg. direct access to hardware, etc.).
