   Yep. I was the author of the question. Right now I'm using gcc with -std=c++98   
   and it compiles with my changes. But I didn't add anything fancy yet. I may   
   try to setup Watcom compiler and try to build it there. I have tried to build   
   with VC 2005 under Windows XP, but I need to finish dev env setup first. I've   
   been using it long time ago and forgot a lot of stuff already. :)   
      
    KR>> Well, i'm not qualified to answer that question.   
      
    NA> At least, you can do your best effort.   
      
   That's what I'm doing. I only can't have all possible OS/compilers   
   combinations.   
      
    VA>>> If it's possible to start using C++11, code may be made much

    NA> As a user, will you run DOS version of GoldEd+?   
      
    KR>> From a fidonet member point of view i would like to see support   
    KR>> for as many as possible hard- and software platforms.   
      
    NA> Software platforms? saas software as a service?   
      
    KR>> On the other hand old code running on old hard- and software will

    NA> True. You still can download .exe files for Dos/OS2/Win32/you name it

    NA> we have established FTSC facility.   
      
   Older versions can be easily build with older compliers, but would be really   
   nice to be able to build new fixes and/or features with old compilers too.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Vitaliy Aksyonov.
