Hi, after receiving the hono(u)r of becoming maintainer and author of the new official FreeDOS MODE, I have moved MODE and GRAPHICS (which I had forgotten to move before) from
http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/ to http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/ ... and I have renamed it from MODE-MODECON to MODE. The next problem is to create a proper LSM file and documentation for it. I am looking for VOLUNTEERS for that: The description of "Set the mode of your devices" is a bit short. As a reminder, the features are: - send ESC/P control codes for 80/132 cols and 6/8 lpi to printer - redirect printer to NUL or serial port - set serial port parameters - do codepage operations and display status of DISPLAY - select 40/80/132x25/28/43/50/60 screen mode or select x8/14/16 font, availability depending on your hardware. Shift CGA display sideways. - control and check switchar and keyboard (num/...) lock states - control keyboard repeat rate and delay I think the help file should just contain the MODE /? output and some explanation of each option. If you want to create a version history file: 4sep2003 initial version. 13dec2004 codepage support 02feb2004 keyboard lock support 19feb2004 vesa modes and printer redirection (and persistence) 21feb2004 cga shifting and codepage fixes. This is "as far as I remember". Find the updated parts of the GRAPHICS lsm below: Begin3 Title: Graphics Version: 11jun2003 Entered-date: 2003-04-07 Description: Allow Prtscr to print graphics screens. (CGA/EGA/VGA/MCGA, on PostScript, ESC/P Epson 8/24pin and HP PCL printers) Keywords: Prtscr graphics Author: Eric Auer eric(#)coli.uni-sb.de Maintained-by: Eric Auer eric(#)coli.uni-sb.de Primary-site: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/ Alternate-site: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/graphics/ Original-site: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/ Platforms: DOS (nasm) Copying-policy: GPL v2 End Note that as of 13 July 2003 you can also download a GRAPHICS,BAT file which parses MS style syntax and calls my programs then (remember that I have 3 separate programs: One for PS, one for ESC/P and one for HP PCL).
