[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder

2019-11-30 Thread John Price


--

We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists:

1. NO HATE SPEECH OR BULLYING

   Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed,
   and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture,
   sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

   Don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what Usenet
   turned into.

2. NO PROMOTIONS OR SPAM

   Remember, this group is about FreeDOS. General DOS topics are okay,
   but try to keep it related to FreeDOS. Self-promotion, spam and
   irrelevant links aren't allowed. Spammers will be banned.

   Keep posts on-topic. We set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS
   issues.

3. BE KIND AND COURTEOUS

   We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's
   treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but
   kindness is required.

   No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has
   said, send a reply off-list.

Finally done, uploaded at the same place on iBiblio for us.

Though I wonder why I wasted so much time since it's inferior to the
8086 OpenWatcom build. I guess I still appreciate Turbo C++ for what
it is. I really need to take a look at why it's running out of memory
(kernel.asm) or maybe even look into using overlays (which I'm not
familiar with at all). At least it does normally work, for comparison,
in case anyone wants to improve it.
