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
No need to call for VOLUNTEERS to write an LSM file. You've pretty much done that already. In that case, I'll "volunteer" to create the new LSM file:
