Re: [Freedos-devel] Bloček in DOS - gives an runtime error
Hello Tae! I am the author of Blocek. The error 202 means range overflow in some variable. But I didn't understand whether you have your problem with some font file or with some document or certain combination of document containing some char and font. It would be best if you send me the BLOCEK.CFG file and the files you have the proglems with. Also make sure I are using the last version - check the website http://www.laaca-mirror.ic.cz > Původní zpráva > Od: tae wong > Předmět: Re: [Freedos-devel] Bloček in DOS - gives an runtime error > Datum: 25.4.2010 05:55:52 > > Hi all.

How can i learn this lingo: > "UDFCDX" "gcdrom" "gcxdrom" "SHSUCDX" "MSCDEX" "eltorito.sys" ... ? > Let's see, nearly 2 decades ago Microsoft introduced a driver called MSCDEX to allow you to gain access to a cd-rom disc in your optical drive, as long as the cd contents was in ISO9660 format (most normal CDs). Also NWCDEX existed, from another DOS manufacturer. They needed a driver to be loaded in config.sys system file first, usually this driver was delivered together with your purchased CD DRIVE unit. Quite some time later, on windows 95/98 bootdisks, Microsoft provided a driver from a CD manufacturer by default. It was pretty generic/universal for most IDE (ATAPI) drives. At the same time there was also the Acer (nowadays Benq? or Acer again) universal working driver called VIDE-CDD.SYS which had a lower memory footprint. To make a long story short: Jack R Ellis has had a number of drivers developed for access to optical units and discs, most of this software has sourcecode available. His latest is UIDE.SYS which should support CD drives also on Serial-ATA (possibly in AHCI-mode, or just IDE-emulation). FreeDOS earlier already had a replacement for MSCDEX, it's called SHSUCDX. Still only allowing access to ISO9660 discs. UDF is a file format for optical discs most used on DVD movies I think, and allows more than ISO9660. A version of SHSUCDX with support for UDF is what you might call UDFCDX, it doesn't exist yet. Additionally there's much more to write about CD unit support (ASPI, SCSI, USB, CD writing, packetwriting, emulation, ramdisks, bootable CD using the config.sys ELTORITO.SYS driver, etc). You can load the CD support in the historically correct DOS way by installing 1 driver in config.sys ( DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001 for example) and then loading the CDEX ( SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001) with same 'block device name' (in this case the FDCD0001 name). Or, use a modern commandline device driver loader program named DEVLOAD: DEVLOAD C:\FDOS\BIN\UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001 SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001 -- ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel

Thanks for the warning, but I think people would still be happy to have UDF abilities, even if they have to boot with a big driver. They can still keep it out of their normal boot config and put it into a config sys menu item. You can compare it with MSCLIENT for using network drives: The driver is big, but sometimes it is worth the memory to get a special job done :-) As you can guess, I would suggest to put UDF not into a common SHSUCDX but into a "special edition" UDF-CDX. Alain, you started the thread, do you think such a big UDF CDEX driver would be useful? Or do you think that it would indeed be too big and too complex for most?

Re: [Freedos-devel] Bloček in DOS - gives an runtime error
202 range overflow in some variable You've done with this: 1. Copy kasmar.exe to kasmarold.exe 2. Removed the original Kasmar files, which confuses the underscore line 3. Launched cwsdpmi.exe 4. Launched kasmar.exe The following error is detected when launching an version copied from the Blocek folder: EMM386 has detected error #I7 in an application at memory address F900:0003. To minimize the chance of data loss, EMM386 has halted your computer. For more information, consult your documentation. To restart your computer, press ENTER. If you press the Enter key then the computer won't restart so you have to restart manually. On 4/25/10, tae wong wrote: > Hi all.

Re: [Freedos-devel] IDE CDrom/Dvd
I don't know about others, but I for one would find a udf driver *extremely* helpful. Sometimes, when you have a cd/dvdR disk, it's tough to tell if it has anything on it, and being able to boot from such a disk would be worlds better than cramming a full system backup with only limited files to get you started on a cd, when you could store the entire boot opartition on a single disk if udf capabilities were available. My vote is to do it. :) Of course, that's easy for me to say, I won't be the one writing the thing (I don't know enough about either assembly or udf formats to help with this one) hSure wish I did though. -- ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
