use int 21, 6C EXTENDED OPEN/CREATE and you can handle 4GiB.


This does not appear to be present in the FreeDOS kernel. Or at least 
the source code comment says "not implemented yet" (and the O_LARGEFILE 
flag does not appear to be used anywhere later in the code):

Do you have a FreeDOS kernel version that supports this?

[Freedos-user] RHIDE help file

2022-02-19 Thread Tom via Freedos-user
I've installed RHIDE and all the DJGPP stuff and it seems to be working 
ok but when I try the Help from the menu or F1 I get an error box: 
'Attention: can't open the help file 'rhide'.'


Is this a separate package or missing from the package?

OOPS.

I hadn't thougt about this as the FreeDOS kernel (AFAIK) doesn't
check for offsets beyond 2GB.

most likely no ;)
