Greetings, Folks. Eric, Jim - good to meet!
Eric - I mostly use names within volume labels, which have the full 11 characters, but you're right, its probably better to stick to 8 characters, to allow for folder- and file names. Nice list, though, most of them actually do make some sense. -smile- I named 1.2 RC1 "Heaven" so I could tell my wife "I've been in heaven all day long..." LOL Jim - I'd love to read more about the history of FreeDOS, and I'll keep an extra eye on your blog next week. As one who can still remember booting up PC-DOS 1.0 from a 5.25 inch floppy, you're bringing back so many wonderful memories... -smile- That said, and with all due respect, I would like to urge you to reconsider and select a nice name for FreeDOS 1.2. Trying not to get too philosophical, but naming things is a somewhat magical or perhaps, even divine form of act; an expression of recognition of individuality, so to speak, and I dare say, FreeDOS 1.2 *deserves* to be recognized. So, for magic's sake, give the kid a name! -smile- Take care, Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
