IIRC, Ubuntu used to keep it in "multiverse". You could also probably just grab the binaries from its main website (or compile it yourself, heheh). DOSBox can "run" TP programs too, but I wouldn't recommend using it as host for serious programming (even though it "may" work fairly well). BTW, GPC, VPC, TMT, and FPC all support the TP dialect and can all (more or less) host on and target DOS. > ...and now I'm stucked on copy the Turbo Pascal installer on the > FreeDOS VM. To copy it there to use, you mean? (Just unpack the .ZIP raw and then install, don't worry about DISK1, DISK2, etc. subdirs.) If you load PCNTPK.COM (I think? that's what it's called) as packet driver, you can then use something like mTCP's DHCP then download it directly yourself! I know that works for me, at least. > VirtualBox says I need to do a NET USE to configure the shared folders.

You won't have that pre-installed on FreeDOS nor Ubuntu. I'm not totally sure, but I think the answer for you is to install an FTP server (and thus use any FTP program, like from mTCP, to send and receive files when inside the VM). http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ There are other ways, e.g. writing to floppy disk image and extracting, but that's probably more klunky and complicated. But that's what I used to do in ye olde days. (Honestly, I've not bothered setting up an FTP server personally, but it shouldn't be too hard.) http://www.winimage.com/extract.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
