Looking for Phar Lap 286 Dos-Extender

Post by WieMie
To build an old Borland C++ 4.5-project I need the Phar Lap
286|DOS-Extender (Lite). Unfortunately I cannot find this (free) software.
Does anyone still have it, or knows how to get it?

*** I don't have access to it, but you might also try searching for
"QRAM" from Quarterdeck. I believe it extended both 808n and 286 systems.

I have QEMM 8.1. but I don't see QRAM on my systems. E-mail me and I
will check the original discs.

I don't think that would work.

"286|DOS-Extender (Lite)" provides a OS/2 1.x runtime environment and
DOS Family API support.

Not me, the OP. I already have all of the versions.

The orignal sources have been compiled with Phar Lap's 286 Dos-Extender.
We've tried some other extenders, but we cannot get it to work :(

The link to microway would be for the full extender, not the Lite
version. The full version used to cost $500 US, btw, without any
runtime licenses. That's where they really get you.

I think it was only (free) if you bought the software it came with.

The license doesn't say anything about free.

Hi,

AFAIK, the Phar-Lap Dos-Extender 286 lite came with Borland C++ version 3.1
If you want to write protected mode DOS programs with version 4.02 or 4.5, you
should get the "PowerPack for DOS", from Borland themselves. It has both 286
and 386 DOS extenders.

regards, Matt

Is this of any use?
