CWSDPMI is only needed for 32-bit DJGPP (pmode, DPMI) builds. So, for example, HDPMI32 (from HX) also works. * ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2misc/csdpmi7b.zip * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/cwsdpmi/csdpmi7b.zip There are 16-bit DOS builds too, but only the 32-bit DJGPP builds (zip, unzip) support LFNs by default. So you'll still need a LFN driver (e.g. DOSLFN) loaded, in raw DOS. Note that Win2k has its own DPMI and LFN (under NTVDM), so neither is necessary there, for DJGPP programs. * ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/msdos/ * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/info-zip/ There's also some p7zip builds via DJGPP (and it supports .tar, .gz, .bz2, .zip, .7z, .xz), but I don't normally recommend those because they are only half-functional and somewhat confusing. Although you could also use the "7za" Win32 console builds on Win2k, obviously (or even under Japheth's HX under DOS). * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/7zip/9.20.1/testing/p7z9201-latest.zip * https://www.7-zip.org/a/7za920.zip * https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/HX There's also DJTAR (unpacking only, .tar, .tar.gz [sic, not .gz only], .zip Deflate only) from DJDEV* (e.g. 2.05) that supports LFNs (if available). But I don't know if that's what you want either. * http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/current/v2/djdev205.zip (Sorry if this is just more confusion for you!) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
