Not sure about "official" repo or packages (as there's too many files
to keep close track of, IMHO).

A port to DJGPP for Links2 exists (but not sure if in proper package
form). At least, I don't see any package for it under
/distributions/1.1/repos/net/ . The full (non-lite) .EXE does support
HTTPS/SSL and both text-only or graphics viewing.

Easy enough to just use QEMU (under *BSD), which should work fine
(with either PCNTPK or NE2000).

No universal or "good" support, but a very very few DOS apps do have
(some) limited HDA support.

And, just to be clear, QEMU audio is somewhat unstable (in my
experience), so while other stuff works there, don't get your hopes up
that it will fulfill all your DOS sound needs. Honestly, for sound,
DOSBox is probably better.

I haven't used XDEL in recent years (at least not on FreeDOS; yes, I
still remember the DR-DOS version where DELTREE.BAT used it behind the
scenes).

A quick search on iBiblio shows the following files:

./distributions/1.0/pkgs/xdels.lsm
./distributions/1.0/pkgs/xdels.zip
./distributions/1.0/pkgs/xdelx.lsm
./distributions/1.0/pkgs/xdelx.zip
./util/file/xdel204.zip

I haven't checked all the versions closely, so I don't know the
differences (if any). But if either of you have a preferred place or
specific version of this utility that you want updated on iBiblio,
feel free to tell me.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2 needs you

[Thomas Mueller]

I see your (Jerome Shidel) list of packages, BASE and ALL, no need to quote the 
list.

I think there is only one web browser, Dillo?

Are others available as add-ons: Lynx, Links-GUI, Arachne?  I can't think of 
any other current or recent web browsers for DOS.

This so far is mainly a matter of curiosity, since my Ethernet has no DOS 
packet driver, and my sound (Intel high-definition audio) has no DOS support 
from what I read on this emailing list, but is good in NetBSD and FreeBSD, and 
I think also Haiku.

Like I said. The only thing I know for a fact regarding the issue is that it is 
not FDI or V8Power Tools.

Take the existing Floppy Image that FDI uses to boot. 

Lets assume partitioned and blank formatted drive C:

Modify the auto exec to jumping past FDI’s startup after the drivers 
finish loading.
Thereby avoiding any calls to any part of FDI and any usage of V8Power 
Tools.

Run FreeDOS Edit (from prompt):

A:  (fine)
A:\FDSETUP\BIN\EDIT.EXE (fine)
C:  (fine)
A:\FDSETUP\BIN\EDIT.EXE   (fine)
D:  (fine)
A:\FDSETUP\BIN\EDIT.EXE   (system lockup)

What is odd though the system does not lockup when using the DIR 
command.

for example:

A:
dir
c:
dir:
d:
dir
cd util
dir
type d:\pkginfo\command.txt
(no problems)

This is not a program problem. This also cause lockup:

grep -i dos d:\pkginfo\command.com

So, as far as I can determine it is either a VirtualBox, FreeCOM, 
Kernel or the CDROM driver. However,
the issue occurs only from programs and not the built in shell 
commands. Also, it only occurs in VirtualBox
when booting the El Torito CD. It does not occur in VMware when booting 
the CD-ROM. It also does not 
occur under VirtualBox using any other boot method. This includes not 
happening when the same floppy
image is used to boot as a floppy.
