The imports missing import not found: InitializeSListHead import not found: GetModuleHandleExW import not found: FindFirstFileExW=20 has been added to the HX DOS Extender and can be found in the prerelease 2.= 19 pre5 (28:th of December 2020): https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HX/releases With the missing imports added it is not only possible to run C application= s built with Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 on Freedos using the HX Dos = Extender but also possible to run Ada applications built with the Janus/Ada= compiler 3.2.1. One alternative to run Ada applications in DOS would be to= use an older version of Janus/Ada that only supports Ada83, but with the l= atest version of the HX DOS Extender (at the time of this writing) it is po= ssible to use the latest version of Janus/Ada to make multi-task DOS applic= ations. I have successfully executed an Ada application on Freedos that had four ta= sks in the source code. This is the result of my R&D work during the Christ= mas of 2020. Best regards, Joakim
