I am looking for an old copy of the evaluation version of the Keil compiler and Microvision development tools.
I want it to use with a Phytec KC-167-CS evaluation board.
What I am looking for is the development tools that were in use in about 1999 or thereabouts. I used to use them in a previous employment. I recall the development tools could be downloaded from the Keil website, and also came on a CD rom with the evaluation board, though I don't recall the version number.
The reason I want this old version is I know it runs on an old computer running Windows 98 (that's what I used to use then). The current version available for download requires win200 or higher, and a much higher spec PC.
This is for a hobby project, not for commercial use.
No, they are not MS-DOS files - that would mean 16-bit executables, etc.
They are 32-bit Windows Console-Mode executables.
Having said that, they might actually work on Win-98...
Yes ?I stand corrected. What I mean is if I click on their excecutables directly, they open in what "looks like" an MSDOS window. So yes they DO run on windows 98.
So it's just the UV3 environment that doesn't.
So i'm still after an old version of the complete package, or an example batch file to call the compiler, assembler, linker directly.
The tool manuals (compiler manual, linker manual, etc) tell you how to invoke them from the command line.
Alternatively, as you say you do have access to a newer PC, you could also install the tools on there and look at the command-lines that uVision creates...
Later, in about 2002 we bought another evaluation kit for another project,
the eval is free
are you trying to get a full?

PS "for another project", the eval clearly states "not for commercial use"
I guess he bought an evaluation board, complete with the evaluation version of the compiler.
Good point. A classic case of Please read the manual!!
By Bought, I meant the company bought another Phytec C167 evaluation board that came with a CD containing a more recent version of the evaluation copy of the Keil compiler.
Both the original and second development boards were both bought for in house development projects that never made it into production. The company went into liquidation shortly afterwards.
Just to clarify, I am not trying to pull a fast one, I just want to dabble with this as a hobby now I'm retired.
never seen a better reason to go for the current release.
PS re "dabble with this as a hobby", have you had a look at the SILabs devboards, they come with a 4k Keil eval (restricted to use with SILabs chips) and full ICE functionality priced in the $100 range.
I think we've established that he's just not going to upgrade his old Win-98 PC, so there's no point in looking at any "current" stuff.
I doubt that Win-98 drivers will be available for the "ICE" functionality...
And SiLabs are, of course, 8051 - not C16x.
