Re: [fd-dev] FreeDOS installer ideas
But=- FD.EXE could be made by RAR.EXE, and self extract into any 16 bit dos directory, or maybe even a floppy. You seen the drdos 7.03 install?It is, by far, the fastest of all of the above. I don't think plain unpacking will upgrade the boot sector, as required by the install disk. Since Mozilla will run on os2 and win 3.1, it dont seem outta the question to figure out the API calls Moz needs and answer them. I'd bet that such an application would need WINDOW, WINCONTROL, EVENT, and that kind of services that are not defined for DOS. You'd need to use a bunch of such services for DOS (such as MS-Windows' KERNEL, USER, GDI etc, and the corresponding for OS/2.)

How does this work in full screen text mode? At the end, this requires to display more than 256 different chars at the same time! (Tell me if I'm completely wrong with this.) This is full screen text mode what I was talking about. You see funny little square boxes for each unicode character for which the font has no equivalent. I saw these square boxes for instance in Matthias mails because he used 264 180 B4 ยด ACUTE ACCENT instead of the ASCII ' and I was using cp437 on the console.

Back in the BBS days, I created a font that also included electronic circuit symbols so that we could lay out circits in ascii messages in the newsgroup. You should try FontSet a small tool i programmed long days ago.. :) Sure it is Freeware... Look at http://www.dev0.de/products_fontset.html Well, I did, but the hard part is a consensus on how much of the std font to change. spoze it'd work with dosemu? -- list options/archives/etc.: http://www.topica.com/lists/fd-dev unsubscribe: send blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==^ This email was sent to: archive@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bz8Rv5.bbRv4l.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
