I downloaded Duke Nukem 3D, but turns out it's larger than a floppy, which is the only way I can transfer to the DOS machine. For unknown reasons, although FreeDOS installed everything okay to my machine from CD, the FreeDOS CD driver itself will only read small files of a few K from a burned CD, larger files corrupt the data during COPY and are useless. Unless that's been fixed in last FreeDOS beta release or SHSUCDX has been updated from 2.1 to fix the problem, I'm dead in the water on transferring large files via CD. I suppose I could break up the ZIP to floppy sized units, but I'm not real thrilled about trying it. I'd very much rather get the CD problem fixed. Used to think I'd look into whether there was a programming problem in the process after EMM386's VCPI settled down as my last FreeDOS development interest. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
