Master of Orion, released in about 1993. It is one of the best computer-only strategy games going. It is available at www.theunderdogs.org.

Tnaks a lot, but I have another problems.
I use the help an find it usage:
COLDboot / WARMboot - do a reboot with / without BIOS tests (POST)
HOTboot - try reboot at once using int 19h (will often crash!)
According trial, it seems HOTboot just jump to MBR without run the
BIOS and as the help says, it crashes. But I can't distinguish
COLDboot and WARMboot. Both of them seem to do the same as reboot.
What's the diffirence of them? I have use Google to search the keyword
"COLDboot" and "WARMboot"
Besides, the help says:
PURESUSP / PUREOFF - as SUSPEND / POWEROFF but does not stop IDE disks first
Which may be better?
there is this line:
VGAoff / VGAon- switch VGA DPMS screen off (no auto wake up!) / on
I have tried them, and I have to type "fdapm VAGon" without the
screen. Are there any instances that type may be usefull?

Re: [Freedos-user] Re: Master of Orion emm386 // RE: sound cards apogee games
Thanks for both of your replies. 1.14 runs MOO on the default settings, but I had problems with it crashing. mi.com crashed with 1.14 also. It might be my overclocked processor or my finicky trident "blade3d" video card because I have troubles of a different kind running MOO with ms-dos 7.1 on this same system -- counters in the game get wacked out. One of these days I will swap to a conservative video card and reset the board to see if it makes a difference. Right now the box constitutes the bottom layer of a beige heap.

Try FDAPM {WARMBOOT/COLDBOOT} to reboot without press the power
button.
FreeDOS is the same as MS-DOS, can reboot without "shutdown".

Their config sys just loaded FDXMS and their autoexec bat only ran "loadce /Plogo.pcx nk.bin", oneliners. We need a FreeDOS Compliance Engineer! Free Software Foundation has (at least) one for their GPL, why not us? Matter of fact, since FreeDOS is GPL, we should be able to sic the FSF GPL Compliance Engineer on Neoware since Neoware is violating license by wiping copyrights. Need a cool uniform for the position though. A big fishy whale T-shirt is too casual. Maybe a black leather jumpsuit with red piping adorned with the platinum triangle badge of office, and a stun-stick sidearm for the recalcitrant. I wonder what the FSF's GPL Compliance Engineers wear? I'm sure it's simply stunning, whatever it is. The curious thing is that Eric knew this and didn't consider it a violation, any more like these, Eric?

Hi, Eric Auer escribió: Hi, strange subject line, but: Arkady, SYS C: is for transferring systemfiles from current drive ... to C: and writing bootsector. IIRC bootsector is not overwritten, unless you do /MBR (at least in MS's). SYS does write the boot sector all the time - you are mixing things up with FDISK, Oops, you're quite right. I must have been not thinking of it as I wrote. PS Aitor: Yes, MODE and the new DISPLAY interface... Good to hear that you will finally make it a device driver, then I only have to support the FINAL interface in the next update ;-). No, you are wrong. The next bunch of features will be 0.12, but not a device driver. Sorry. As I explaned over and over again (at least 3 times): the difference between the final interface and the penultimate is less than 8 bytes: the contents of AX and BX registers (and the INT call). But I am off till March, so you have one more week at least. Aitor --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Freedos-user] Maybe a bug about fdconfig.sys or command.com
First, I see the fdconfig.sys has this line: SHELL=C:\FDOS\command.com C:\FDOS /D /P=C:\fdauto.bat /K set path=C:\FDOS\bin Then I chang it to this: SHELL=C:\FDOS\command.com C:\FDOS /D /P=C:\fdauto.bat /K set path=C:\FDOS\bin;C:\UTILS\bin After I reboot the machine, I found it hangs.(It seems Ctrl-Alt-Del don't work) However, I did some things(I forgot what I had done) and I found the above line is ok and it didn't hang again. Now, I change that line to this: SHELL=C:\FDOS\command.com C:\FDOS /D /P=C:\fdauto.bat /K set path=C:\FDOS\bin;C:\UTILS\bin;C:\DJGPP\bin But it hangs again. Another thing is that when I boot the machine, it says "Bypassing C:\fdauto.bat", and I don't know why since C:\fdauto.bat exists. Could someone tell me how to fix it? I use FreeDOS Beta9 and following is my fdconfig.sys ;!COUNTRY=031,858,C:\FDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS !SET lang=EN ;for help on commands, see file config.sys in your FreeDOS directory ;www.benq.com/ss_download/drivers/storage/cd-rom/drivers/dos/apicd214.exe ;DOS=HIGH is still buggy (try running HELP), as is CDROM-driver.
