Losing the place where a lot of the programmers hang out is even worse. Mike Look at it this way, it is extremely hard to support modern hardware in a DOS style environment because DOS allowed application programs to use hardware directly. Jim Hall has said himself that he has limited interest in the GUI end and most people think a Windows 3.11 Workgroups compatible GUI is too much work. DOS is fast, but Linux stripped down properly is also fast. DOS is great for playing old games, and there are some popular applications for it. Thing is, DOS doesn't make sense at all in the multicore era as a primary operating system. DOS was needed when the personal computer wasn't powerful enough to support a more sophisticated operating system. I'd say that Freedos has it's uses, but without active development on a variant that can take advantage of multiple cores and modern hardware, there are probably a dwindling number of uses for it. Without hardware protection and memory protection, Freedos is certainly fast but probably not acceptable to everyone. From Garry: Realizeing Dos is not acceptable to every one, that dose not matter, for those that find Dos acceptable,..and to help continue active developement,..I invite anyone to share on this site: http://creativeminds.webege.com/phpBB3/index.php From Garry-- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos and PC simulators
Hello all, A while back I asked if anyone new about putting Dos games online, PC simulators, etc... And I got several links, that were helpful,.. So far the one I have been useing is RETRO, by was written by Joris van Rantwijkhttp://jorisvr.nl/retro/retroapplet.html as it was the simplest one, at first I had some trouble getting my Floppy images for freedos, to work,..but then I finally got some good ones. Also a while back I noticed a phpBbs Forum, that was starting , I thought I saw the link to it at the FreeDos site homepage, but when I tried it it still was not running, Dose anyone know anything about that ? I like the idea of a forum for free dos, better then the mailing list,.. I guess that is about it, I have a question about editing the config.sys,.. MENU 3 - Load FreeDOS without drivers, if I want freedos to just use this option, when it boots, no menu, just automaticly loads with no drivers,..How should it be ?(config.sys) sorry if this seems like a dumb, question, but I don't know. I guess thats about it,..if anyone is interested, they can see what I did,with RETRO and FreeDos, at :http://creativeminds.webege.com/RETRO-04/retro-0.4/retroapplet.html Also any suggestions, or comments, more info on this are welcome,...http://creativeminds.webege.com/RETRO-04/retro-0.4 Thanks From Garry Ricketson -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Hello everyone, It has been a long time since I have sent anything to these news letters,...

A previous attempt at installing FreeDOS in a logical partition was still there. GRUB tried to boot that, in any case.

It can be downloaded from here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/, me: as I am not home yet,I have not tried it. I am useing the CRYNWR dirver that came in the freedos package, on the Big computer, it appears to have loaded good. On the lap top it dose not load, For The Laptop aspire series AOA150 Nicscan results: bus: 2 device: 0 Function: 0 PCI vendor: 10EC = Realtek Semiconductor Co.LTD PCI device; RTL010E PCI Express Fast Eternet controller is what the laptop says and when FreeDos starts, it say failed,: to install Packet driver (CRYNWR)I did note on some of the previous links you showed, a list, showing what driver is recommended,I dont remember if it include Realtek,I think it did ULI,:I think years ago with DOS 5.1 you may have connected the two computers with a parallel cable and used a software like laplink to connect them. This is also possible with freedos and you don't need any drivers for it. Ok I still dont remember the software name, but yes it was the parallel cable,or null modem?... anyway I got looking close at the laptop, the only socket, that looks like it could be, is described in the manual, as only for a screen(VGA)...and it dose work for that. Could it work? as the big computer has 2 sockets, and more...I doubt the laptop will be able to connect that way, so the Cross Over, cable...is probably my only option,.. ULI:Networking the two computers and transfer files over a crossover cable is also possible, but it is a bit more work. The one thing you need to find is a DOS driver for your network cards. This might be either a packet driver (which is the easiest to use), an ODI driver (file name ending *.com, you find it in a directory called netware, nwclient, ODI or VLM on the cards drivers disk) or a NDIS driver (file name ending *.DOS). Which network cards exactly are you using? On The big computer,I need to check and see what card it uses,I dont have it handy, as I am in a internet cafe right now When you say Cross over, is that the one that uses RJ8,(i think), it is like what I call phone jack, anyway it is what normally would go to a modemsorry I am so ignorant on terminolgy(names)... When I try what the cross over cable(phone jack) type,...I suspect it cannot work as because probley the big computer dose not have a eternet card,it is older, if connected to a modem, with the card ..probley it would work. ULI Transferring files and directories can then be done with a lot of tools. I think I would use a ftpserver and a ftp client. The method over IPX, I wrote about two days ago, works, but it is not very user-friendly, so I cannot really recommend it. regards Uli PS: I really like your website. Well thank you very much on that, I am almost kinda shy on that, as I realize it is not like most sites,and also it still is missing alot ..although I have a windows html editor, I don't use it much, A lot was written just useing the FreeDos editor,I should add I like ( above) http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/, (the site design), also the free dos site is very nicely designed too, Just one last comment, I just recently started to uderstan a little in writeing qbasic stuff, I installed the qbasic program into my FreeDos partition, I haveing a lot of fun with that, as I never had written anytype of program, just some batch file stuff...FreeDos,also has some,what appear to be neat editiors for program writeing, but I dont know enough, yet to be able to use them, but hopefully soon I will. thanks every one for the help..

Mike is willing to make the code open source, so this could be very interesting for the FreeDOS community and other developers for DOS. Downloads and information about mTCP can be found at his website http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP.html I already tested his ftp-software last year, which turned out to be faster than anything else under DOS (see: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Networking_FreeDOS_-_mTCP). Have fun trying it out - and please send your feedback to Mike. uli, Ok well this software, requires modem, and eternet, I am thinking about, or would like to just connect 2 computers, (laptop) and Table top(IBM), both have fredos, and boot with freedos, I would like to connect the laptop to the bigger computer, but with just a cross over cable,Can FreeDos suport this? or what software do I need,Is there any?...just for Dos ,not for windows,well if the software supported windows thats fine, but more important is Dos and I am not exactly sure how to do this, any suggestions?..Just a simple connection, as they are both mine, I dont need or want passwords, etc... just simple file viewing,copy,edit,delete or moveing..ok amy way if it is not that simple, as simple as I can find...thanks visit my webb page:http://garryspages.webs.com Garrison Ricketson-- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDos-User,FreeDos.bootablebootstick,grub
Hello,anothers name? Format your memory stick(bootstic) useing /S, and useing FreeDos, just that simple,it should then be bootable,booting with freedos,but will have no real OS, it will just be bootable, copy con, and type, the most basic comands work,,when you have the bootstick actually bootable, if you want you can add grub, or you can add most of the freedos files,and programs, to have what you want, HirensBoot Cd, has a real nice CD, that can be used to help, but it is not useing FreeDos, but you can build a CD, includeing FreeDos,... then copy it to the bootstick and it works well, but the bootstick must be bootable, first, Also HP format tool, is great to do the format, select the FreeDos system files, on the option, location of Dos Boot files. But I found the fastest easiest way is simple Format/s the memory stick (format /s D:(or whatever ur USB drive letter is), adding Grub, and what ever later, ok well good luck. I have some more complete instruct, that Hiren sent me, but they are at home, at this moment I am in a internet cafe, and dont have them handy,but if you want I can send them later,but I think you can find the same on Hirens web site www.hirensbootcd.com (i think) visit my webb page:http://garryspages.webs.com Garrison Ricketson-- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [Freedos-user] installing Free Dos without boot loaders
Hello, I use XOSL as my boot loader, and as Eric says each OS is in its own primary partition, XOSL boots first, with a list of the various (3) partitions and OS, (windows,FreeDos, MSdos),...partition magic, and also one called partitition wizard, that I got off of Hirens boot CD, works well to activate or disactivate partions. How ever on my laptop, never could get XOSL to install correctly..so I also use grubfor dos, as mentioned and it works well, when it boots I get the choice to boot with windows or boot with freedos... I dont believe you can have both OSs in one partition.. to be honest I have never tried it. good luck from Garry visit my webb page:http://www.garryspages.webs.com Garrison Ricketson --- On Sun, 6/20/10, freedos-user-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net freedos-user-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net wrote: From: freedos-user-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net freedos-user-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Freedos-user Digest, Vol 372, Issue 1 To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Sunday, June 20, 2010, 5:41 AM Send Freedos-user mailing list submissions to freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Today's Topics: 1.

The requisites are: 1) it must boot from a primary partition 2) the partition needs to be active. Windows98 have the same requisites, that is the problem. But it can be solved by Grub.. This is how I did it: # This entry for FreeDOS on /dev/sda1 title FreeDOS root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 # This entry for Windows98 on /dev/sda2 title Windows 95/98/Me root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Notice the makeactive command that changes the active partition on-the-fly. But you will still need both to be primary partitions, only a few programs can achieve this, sorry but I don't remember which, probably PartedMagic http://partedmagic.com/ is ok.

The requisites are: 1) it must boot from a primary partition 2) the partition needs to be active. Not really... Because you use GRUB, it is enough if you have a valid boot sector in a FILE. Our SYS can make such files, without actually SYSing your partition. So Windows stays as it is, and you give the file to GRUB as the chainloader. You just state the filename instead of the +1 to make the DOS menu item, which for the rest is a copy of the Windows one. Example GRUB menu.lst snippet - GRUB 2 might differ a bit: # on /dev/sda1 title FreeDOS root (hd0,0) # savedefault chainloader /freedos.bot # on /dev/sda1 title Windows root (hd0,0) # savedefault chainloader +1 To make this work, you generate a freedos.bot file in the root directory of the C: drive of Windows, using our SYS: sys c: c:\freedos.bot bootonly The bootonly stops SYS from copying kernel.sys and command.com of FreeDOS to C: - instead, you can copy our kernel.sys to the root directory of C: manually. Do NOT copy command.com to that place! You might mix it with the Windows one otherwise. Instead, put it in a separate directory, for example c:\freedos\ :-) Note that SYS cannot (as far as I remember) make good -- Message: 4-06-2010 22:01, kellybe...@gwi.net escreveu

[Freedos-user] Installed freedos,Secretary,Merry Christmas to all
Hello all, Alex... I just wanted to answer about the secretaries computer, No, the secretary dose not even know the first thing about about Dos, but I do not have internet access at my home...I also mostly am useing Freedos, experimenting, but on my computer at home,,she just let me use the machine in the office for a couple of minuets, and I apologize ,because the key board was terrible, the space key did not hardly work, I am use an internet cafe,at this time...and also have more time, as I mentioned, finally( I had alot of trouble installing), Freedos installed well, and seems to be running fine, in it;s own particion...and The Cd rom works, also I have sound, the MPXPLAY , works real well to play music from CDs...how ever ,...I enjoy a Pac Man very much..it is a loder version...and it looks for sound blaster,to have sound..with that game I dont have sound..and am still looking for a solutionif anyone has suggestions on that, It seems there is some kind of Sound Blaster emulater,or card, for windows..as when I use Dos box, under windows..I do get sound with the game... On the Installing,...all though previously I had made a primary particion, for free dos, it still did not install well...and the only way I could run windows, was by hideing the partician later I formatted the hard drive..and only installed Freedos...and it installed well... And I did not use windows, I dont really like windows that much...but I do have a couple of programs I like that depend on windowsSo I reinstalled windows, and createda new particion, for freeDos...I had trouble useing Fdisk, but useing Particion Magic, and also the SPFDISK..included in the freedos package... The other part of the problems ,I think...was also I had alot of viruses..and Also running a disk checking program..was getting messages that the hard drive is damaged, 3000 sectors.and only about 86 were repairable...at this time I waiting for a new hard drive..to arrive...here there is no stores that carry that kind of stuff,...but I have ordered one... ok well I guess that is about it for nowI dont want to bore everyone with areal long email Merry Xmas and happy new year to all From Garry -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I think it might be the FORMAT or Fdisk program doing so, which means we'll need to figure out how far your installation process got. What you can do is manually run the FDISK program, create a primary FAT16 (or FAT32) partition (instead of extended or logical partition), set this created primary partition active, then reboot, then run FORMAT C: and try the installation process again. If that fails, also try running SYS C: right after the FORMAT step. If fdisk/format/sys go right and the installation process afterwards still goes wrong, please let us know. There's some tricky situations sometimes.

[Freedos-user] fdfullcd ISO, KINGSTON data traveler...sound drivers?
Hello Blair, Recently I downloaded the fdfullCD, from the freedos webbsiteI had posted some questions, to the mailling list, also Eric, but later I noted when the disk boots, it says if one has troubles, to e-mail you I seem to be haveing alot of trouble installing it...it boots ok..and starts the installation ok, how ever always at some point..it freezes, saying error 95... the one time I got almost everyithing installed...or appeared to be..the dos editor would not work..on that I got error bad CRC, b1de97eb should be ebf22a97 ok,...well to start how could I change the autoexec, and config.sys...if the editor dosent work?... The CD seems to be good, as if I run freedos (ODIN) from the cd everything works well.or seems tooso the problem seems to be in how it is installing...ok I realize some of the trouble is I dont know much about this stuff...but I am learning... Since I do not have internet at home...I can not just conect..and ask a question when ever I have a problem..I am useing a internet cafe at this time...so any way. since the Cd seemed to work fine..from the CD..I got the idea to just copy all the directorys and files to a USB memorystick (kingstondataTraveler 4gb).. I used windows explorer to do thisok I need to back track a little...first I formatted the memory stick...useing the formatt/s...from odin on the CD..then tested the memory stick.. and it booted well... so I closed the particion where I putting the dos (odin)..and switched back to the particiont where I have windows..to run windows (vista)xpand useing the explorer, opened the cd, copied each directory and sub directory,Ect..in the same order ...to the kingstonWell to my surprise, it works good...every thing works...when I boot with the kingston.all I had to do is adjust the autoexec and configsys for me.. How ever copy the Kingston to the hard drive..did.. not work well it dose sort of, but has to be done almost one file at a timeI lost my patience on that...so I just copied the packages/base to the hard drive...then unzipped all the files.. ..and ODIN is running ok the editor, also the CD drivers..and Himem...and I dont get the bad CRC...stuff...However I am still wondering why the CD cannot install like it should...the error 95...sorry this note has gotten kind of longif you want, and respond...I will be happy to send a more detailed note on the errors I got..,ect...I am also sending a CC of this to the mailing list..I dont know if anyone will be interested or not. anyway if not the dont have to read it. The one thing I am lacking, is I dont have any sound yetI have a Game (Pac Man) that uses Sound blaster,...Useing the DosBox..in windows...the game runs well, and has soundhow ever that is under windows..I have sound, and music,ext... on the particion where I am putting Dos, I still am looking for a sound driver that works under ODIN ..or Dos...Sound Blaster,or imitation...if anyone has any suggestion or info on thisok well that is all for now...hopefullt I hear from you or somebody...if not, well thats ok..I wont keep bothering you all..as I am sure you are busy and so am I .. any way thank you much..for makeing the software,freedos ,ect available.and dont get me wrong...it is great software...just depending on the person..for example some one like me..it is kind a hard to figure out how to use it..(the software)..ok well thats all for now..

Re: [Freedos-user] Update,and info,problems
Hello, Eric, and al readers,... Just a few days ago, I posted in the new letter...but was really vague, and alot has changed, Since I have no access for internet, I am useing a internet cafe..and never have much chance, I down loaded and installed the fdfullcd.iso.., and as I mentioned allthough it booted could not complete the install, as it always terminated with an ERROR 95 how ever, later I selected the minimal install, the basic files...they seemed to install good,completed the installation,but the Edit, still dose not work..I am getting error BAD CRC...b1de97eb should be ebf22a97 Note: since I already also had the FDbasedcd.ISO and had opened and copied it ..I put that back in as the edit works wellit is kinda hard to explain all this Any way, I have managed to get my autoexec, and config.sys straightened out..too where the cdrom dose work, I got 2 cd rom drives..it reads both well and also the HIMEM.exe is workingI am still trying to get sound...I just downloaded a sound driver, but i am not sure if its correct or will work I have freedos, in its own particion completely separate from windows, when I use windows, I have to disactivate and hide the freedos partition, and activate the windows... If I dont hide the Dos partition, windows is extremely slow,almost dose not run..I mostly am just useing the dos partition..I really dont have much interest in windows,anyway... To avoid getting to long, here... what I need to no is what is CRC ?...and how can I correct itI am getting alot of bad CRCs...with various number codes..not only just with the edit Here is some info on my computor: IBM CPU Intel 4cpu 1.70gh velocidad CPU 1.70 6hz video active Brookdale Graphics chip sound support active disk A: 1.44 Unit IDE 0 =40,0060 mb 1= 4 gb (4,000mb) 2= cd/dvdROM 3=CDDVD ROM model 8305TWS EEPROM 24KT28ASP Nivel de Revision Bloque (Revise Block)i am not surewhat this is..2428A de Inicio boot(start) bios date 10/09/02...Sytem UUID 8ea29682ac0c3e80ab4677a748 I dont know if it is 386, or 286..or what..that is why I selected just HIMEM for the high memory device...any way Eric and all.. I really am impressed with the work thathas gone into this freedos,and found when I studied the files, in the disk...alot of helpful info.. also the HELP,htm works well, .I used your examples of the autoexec, and configsys.. as templates, but took out alot of stuff as it appears to be for various machines I am not a compiler, nor proffessional...this is a hobbie for mehowever I like to learn more on all of it...I hope maybe with this info, you maybe can give me a Idea of the best config for my computer..on the bad CRCs,, if I knew what that ment..I might be able to correct it... bye for now..thanks evryone..for your patience garryricket...@yahoo.com --- On Sun, 8/9/09, Eric Auer e.a...@jpberlin.de wrote: From: Eric Auer e.a...@jpberlin.de -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

If you are a new reader of freedos-devel (or the other FreeDOS lists) then, welcome! If you have already been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you probably are familiar with its content anyway. --- The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is a popular system, and there is plenty of hardware out there that supports DOS. The official home of the FreeDOS Project is: http://www.freedos.org/ We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists: 1. Please don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what USENET usually is. 2. Don't post off-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a private email.
