Worked around it by building a 32-bit DOS4G/W version of 2.17 by misusing a slightly modified OWOS2.mak makefile. Was able to build it under Open Watcom 1.9 DOS. I do...

Thanks for the comments! This was the first iteration on trying to improve the old code. I will study your proposals to learn something from it :) To make it...

I am in the mood of doing some assembly, so I could not resist to apply most of your proposals to the bootnorm.asm :) [8539f43](https://github.com/FDOS/fdisk/commit/8539f4344e48d1ca58b8cf66e08b38c01f237927) Currently missing: multiple active detection...

I am searching for a MASM label (the keyword) equivalent for NASM. I have a [driveno](https://github.com/FDOS/fdisk/blob/8539f4344e48d1ca58b8cf66e08b38c01f237927/source/fdisk/bootnorm.asm#L140) variable I would like to place at offset 0 (0:0x600) without loosing type information....

Played too much with JWasm in recent times to forget that NASM has basically no type info for labels (even no concept of variables). That _absolute_ is new to me,...

Regarding the multiple active partitions, did you encounter that anywhere? Converting the LBA values I guess is for the cases where multiple BIOSes may disagree over the CHS values?

The fix proposed by Ben looks ok to me. FDISK uses 0x80+ anyway for its disk IO. So if a drive is not exposed by the BIOS through drive number...

Works under Win95. Should be tested under Win98 as well. But I do not have it.

There are a few options: 1. Manually customized translation files (ugly) 2. Automatically customized translation files: scan .C files for used string ids 3. String ID exclusion for svarlang, so...
