Hello, Kai!

Tuesday September 26 2023 23:22, from Kai Richter -> Vitaliy Aksyonov 
 VA>> My question is which C++ stnadard version may be appropriate in
 VA>> GoldEd?

I read your question as -- what is the minimum -std=c++... I can enable in my
compiler that will not break any existing or future builds. And the answer is
GoldEd+ "supported" platforms and compilers. Have you seen the list? Have you
seen that (semi) automated CI/CD pipeline?

I am joking here but you will see that there are volunteers who are going to
produce binary packages out of master branch once your pull request is merged.
This will give you a clue on which platforms are still alive and what
compilers they use.

Optimistically, I would establish the minimum C++ standard for GoldEd+ to be
C++11. Though, I am not sure about Open Watcom C/C++ capabilities as I have
seen it in use at least for the Husky project.

 KR> Well, i'm not qualified to answer that question.

At least, you can do your best effort.

As a user, will you run DOS version of GoldEd+?

 KR> From a fidonet member point of view i would like to see support for as

Software platforms? saas software as a service?

 KR> On the other hand old code running on old hard- and software will

True. You still can download .exe files for Dos/OS2/Win32/you name it and it
shall/shouldbe compatible with the modern FTN software, because we have
established FTSC facility.

Best Regards,
