Weirdly enough the cludge I posted doesn't work on newest virtual box and freedoms for some reason. It does work on dosbox 0.74 (newest one). Maybe the rendering has changed somewhere :/ -Ed EdzUp On Mon, 7 Aug 2023, 12:21 Jerome Shidel via Freedos-user, < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net>

Hi, I remember using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C back in the day (still use it now), also Lotus 123 and Dbase 3 :) Ah the memories :) Still use Turbo C++ 3 as it's output is faster than open watcom C's compiled code. -Ed EdzUp On Mon, 25 Dec 2023, 04:34 Jim Hall via Freedos-user, <

Jim, thanks for this guide. Is there any major differences between FreeDOS and MSDOS under the hood. I did notice differences in DosBOX as this has the SVGA drivers built in so you can use high definition modes upto 1024x768 in 256 colours iirc. -Ed EdzUp On Wed, 28 Feb 2024, 16:10 Linvel
