Hallo Bernd,
Hi Lucho, you're multilangual by now, even learning Dutch ("groet")?
Just a little courtesy to the many Dutches here ;-) I don't actually know more than "hallo", "groet" and "dank je" (but I'm always willing to learn more ;-)
CD 32BD
WIN
and you boot into the "protected-mode"/"32bit" DOS. it was a PCWELT (German magazine) article back in 1999. I tested it once, but it had no practical use.
Can be used to backup long named files under DOS with 4DOS, as the last part of the following PC-Welt article suggests: http://www.pcwelt.de/know-how/tipps_tricks/betriebssysteme/windows/4064/
Best use is from a clean win98 installation. You might need to copy additional VXD files to the 32BD directory (or a subdirectory) to satisfy the registry requirements (netware drivers, for example).
So this in fact is a mini-Windows... without windows ;-)
What a pity that DOSLFN 0.33 isn't 100% compatible with FreeDOS :( This morning I thrashed a FAT16 filesystem trying to copy long named files under it but there wasn't enough space for all of them. After I re-formatted it, I did the same under MS-DOS. No problems! It gracefully stopped after the disk was full. OK, our kernel is surely still buggy. But Bart is also right that the DOSLFN author Jason Hood is not interested in FreeDOS. Why we're still ignored sometimes? Aren't we a force yet?
Dank, Lucho
