Hi all, if you have been wondering why and why curses us: It is Sandul Yura who has offered us 6 FreePascal and 25 Q-Basic programs on first of November. We had the problem that there is no Q-Basic for FreeDOS but I do not remember what was wrong with the Pascal programs. Programs were: ANSI sequences editor and viewer, Basic interpreter, com <-> exe converter, file splitter, com to bat/bas (?), crc32, des, dialog system, text editor, data / hex file converter, line break normalizer, phone book, picture editor, "utility" (all-in-one calculator, calendar, screen saver, ukrainian/russian stuff), square root demo, uuencode/uudecode, a Basic interpreter written in Pascal, FreePascal text editor (32bit). And finally in C: exe <-> com converter, text viewer with ANSI interpreter, color editor, a file/fcb library, a sketch of a C compiler.
I do not know why none of them made it into the FreeDOS distro. I think the Basic interpreter written in Pascal and the text editors and com <-> exe are interesting, and for those who do have a good Basic interpreter (do not know how good the ones by Sandul are) the pile of other Basic things is worth looking at. Nothing for the BASE category but things for the EDITOR and TOOLS and COMPILERS category. Maybe Sandul only checked beta9rc4 which only contains BASE packages. > ... Go all you to the devil mothers, and wake for ever accursed that you have > vote against including my programs in FreeDOS new distribution program! By the way: I do not remember a voting process but even then: Democracy can suck if people vote against you. Shit happens. But who knows, maybe people do vote for some of your programs now and just overlooked them completely in 2003. Not that your politeness would improve your software's popularity, though.
