[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder
-- 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. -- /* This is an automated message sent out to the mailing list at the first of each month.

Finally done, uploaded at the same place on iBiblio for us. * http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/asm/nasm/0.98.39/8086host/ 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. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
