Re: [Freedos-user] Makehtml v0.0.1
Don't get discouraged by previous comments. Especially if you're not an experienced programmer. Only way to sharpen or develop your skills is by practice. But in one thing they are right: you announced it too early. After some practice, learning and trying out what would work the best, you might've got something "more complete". I tend to think about Sourceforge as "a place to put stuff that already works on some level". There are already too much unfinished beginner projects. Btw, discount - a C implementation of Markdown, compiles nicely with DJGPP (with maybe some tiny changes). It's very similar to what you're trying to do.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
I found two ocr programs in my DOS software collection. Both shareware. The first is OCRSHARE (ver 2.2 1990), the other is PRO-CR (1.04 1989). Both are from Shareware (ftp) archives so they might be still available somewhere. Don't know how usable those might be. Haven't tested them. Several months ago, I did a quick DJGPP ports of GNU Ocrad and GOCR. Didn't thoroughly test them, but quick tests were successfull (english texts + default USA DOS codepage). If you're brave, you can play with that. You'll need CWSDPMI to run any of those. The archives don't contain the source code. http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/gocr049.zip http://bocke.na.rs/djgpp/ports/misc/ocrad.zip Cheers, Bojan.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
I said it half-jokingly. :) I meant it's not tested, but it should work. I put the warning, because I'm not sure about the encoding and how well would it work with non-latin characters. Really, haven't tested much. Ocrad is not used that much (not much popular, beside that of being an official GNU package), but gocr has some popularity in Unix world (Linux/BSD). It might do the work better than a shareware package from 1989. But I'm not sure if the port is free of platform specific bugs. Haven't used it except for a quick test. Well, then... I hope your friend found a solution. Bojan. On Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:45:42 -0400 (EDT) Karen Lewellen wrote: > Hi, > No need for me to be brave, I am not seeking the software.

Re: [Freedos-user] 7zip in pure dos?
Hi.

Not really. If you use tar for decompression (and not 7za) it will automatically "pipe" the output of tar to appropriate decompression program. DJGPP ports of GNU tar should have this option too, but I think this will work much better under native Linux (actually any modern Unix with a recent version of GNU or BSD tar). Just type 'tar -xf archive.tar.xz' and you're ok. Of course, you will need to have gzip, bzip2 or xz installed (Should be installed by default in puppy.

Yep, and that was an advice that might be useful in both DOS and Linux (you mentioned Puppy Linux). Take it easy man. Didn't mean to insult you. NHF intended.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos ocr utility?
Hi all. It seems I just found another one. Was looking for some old fli files in cd.textfiles.com collection and accidentally found something called "CAT Reader" on some Canadian Shareware CD. No license information. It seems to be a part of DOS scanner suite (?). http://cd.textfiles.com/1stcanadian/graphics/cat_ocr/ Haven't tested it and don't have a slightest idea how or does it works, but I did capture a screenshot of the ocr menu (attachment: png 3.4k).

Re: [Freedos-user] false info on the freedos home page?
Hi Karen, > I can assure you that none of the computers I have running this > system know the difference as to official or not. They boot as > ms dos, function as ms dos, perhaps a touch better, and remain > solid for me as ms dos. If you don't have appropriate Windows' license, you are using pirated software. It's easy as that. There were no commercially avaialable versions of MS DOS after 6.22. If you are running so called MS DOS 7.0+, You are legally running Windows 9x. That fact can be easily confirmed. Some of the binaries even contain strings that point to appropriate Windows version. Even if it works, looks and feels like MS DOS, it requires Windows license and it was sold as Windows. So, no: that's not MS DOS. That's Windows 95(A,B,C) or 98(SE).
