Hi Karen, I can assure you that none of the computers I have running this system know the difference as to official or not. They boot as ms dos, function as ms dos, perhaps a touch better, and remain solid for me as ms dos. If you don't have appropriate Windows' license, you are using

Don't get discouraged by previous comments. Especially if you're not an experienced programmer. Only way to sharpen or develop your skills is by practice. But in one thing they are right: you announced it too early. After some practice, learning and trying out what would work the best, you

Thanx Mateusz. :) I didn't play the original, but I remember playing DOS version/clone in the nineties. Ah, nostalgia... :) I already tested. It already works there but needs MSVCRT (e.g. from ReactOS 0.3.14; not newer 0.3.15, that won't work). You can avoid that by building with OpenWatcom

I care. :) I don't use dosemu as often as before, but it's good to know. I recall some problems with network slowness in dosemu, so it might be of use if I get around. Cheers, Bojan. On Sun, 23 Jun 2013 21:36:24 +0200 Mateusz Viste mate...@viste-family.net wrote: Hi! Not sure anybody

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?

2013-06-28 Thread Bojan Popovic
I found two ocr programs in my DOS software collection. Both shareware. The first is OCRSHARE (ver 2.2 1990), the other is PRO-CR (1.04 1989). Both are from Shareware (ftp) archives so they might be still available somewhere. Don't know how usable those might be. Haven't tested them. Several

I said it half-jokingly. :) I meant it's not tested, but it should work. I put the warning, because I'm not sure about the encoding and how well would it work with non-latin characters. Really, haven't tested much. Ocrad is not used that much (not much popular, beside that of being an official

Hey Tom, the very idea of 7zip is to tar first (internally), then compress. Very idea of 7zip is a specific compression algorithm, not a way the compressing utilites work. :) this is a DOS mailing list. Yep, and that was an advice that might be useful in both DOS and Linux (you mentioned

Hi all. It seems I just found another one. Was looking for some old fli files in cd.textfiles.com collection and accidentally found something called CAT Reader on some Canadian Shareware CD. No license information. It seems to be a part of DOS scanner suite (?).
