Re: Lua 1.1 Online Demo for MS-DOS

This is very cool, even on servers because it is quite simple to sandbox a tiny VM for it, just for one task needed. And cool also for real-time applications when you don't want interference with the many apps and system threads that all modern OSes have, or as a testing environment.

Apparently, these were built with Open Watcom C.

Wow! Lua 5.4 for MSDOS!

With 64-bit integers!  Fantastic!

It would be nice to have Lua 5.4 DOS EXE-file with the ability to load external libraries written in C.

Can this LUA.EXE load external modules?

"require" says it is searching for .so modules at non-DOS paths.

Is loading of binary modules not implemented here?
