D1 is based on the BP7 compiler such that, if you have the library units
which shipped with BP7 you can use that compiler to produce a DOS
executable.  But those units are not furnished with D1.

Re:Delphi 1 compiles DOS programs?


Does anyone found a way to compile DOS programs with Delphi1 command
line compiler DCC.EXE?
There is an undocumented switch /cd, the same like in BPC.EXE, which
will generate DOS executables.
But unhappily, DCC.EXE wants to read a file called SYSTEM.TPU, and if
you want to compile a unit "SYSTEM", another strange error message
occurs, I believe "can't read SYSTEM.ADS".
Delphi1 is in Germany a cost-effective pascal compiler, but sometimes
a DOS program, running under pure DOS is more apprepriate for some
problems than the Windows environment.

Check DELPHDOS.ZIP from D Super Page. I have not tested.
