# VSCode-DosboxX
My setup for compiling and running Turbo Pascal, TASM & A86 programs in DosBoxX (on a Mac)
# What is this?
- This allows you to to build and run old DOS-based compilers in DosBoxX from within VS Code.
- It define is a build task that runs a script file within DosBoxX
- Based on the file-ending different compilers will be launched
- Turbo Pascal (.PAS)
- TASM (.ASM)
- A86 Assembly (.A86)
- The compiled files will be moved in an output directory
- You can run or debug the compiled files (or any .COM or .EXE file)
- Inside DosBoxX you can also call "CC [filename]" to start the script that the build task uses

# What you need
- DosBoxX
- 4DOS installed inside DosBoxX
- The proper paths defined in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Old compilers, e.g. Turbo Pascal 7.0, TASM 5, TD 3.2, A86 (look at archive.org)
# How to configure
- Create a DOS folder
- Add your compilers in there
- Add 4DOS in there
- Configure your PATHs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
- Copy the CC.BTM in the DOS folder
- Add the build task to VSCode
- Add the workspace.json to the DOS folder
- Install DosBoxX (e.g. via ```brew```)
- Configure DosBoX
- Set 4DOS.COM to be the command shell
- Add 4DOS Settings
```
