[Freedos-user] Microsoft Open-Sources GW-BASIC
Hey Folks! How are you doing? Microsoft just open sourced gw-basic https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/microsoft-open-sources-gw-basic/ the source code on github https://github.com/microsoft/GW-BASIC news from phoronix: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Microsoft-Open-Source-GW-BASIC from Microsoft dev blog: "We are excited to announce the open-sourcing of Microsoft GW-BASIC on GitHub! Yes, seriously đ Why? Since re-open-sourcing MS-DOS 1.25 & 2.0 on GitHub last year, weâve received numerous requests to also open-source Microsoft BASIC. Well, here we are! đ The Source These sources, as clearly stated in the repoâs readme, are the 8088 assembly language sources from 10th Feb 1983, and are being open-sourced for historical reference and educational purposes. This means we will not be accepting PRs that modify the source in any way. A little historical context The GW-BASIC source code being published is dated Feb 10th 1983. That was quite a while ago, so just to set a little historical perspective: The week this source was created Men At Work topped the US and UK singles charts with âDown Underâ, Dustin Hoffman starred in the #1 US box-office movie, âTootsieâ. In 1983, âStar Wars Episode VI â Return of the Jediâ was released, as was âWar Gamesâ! And, Emily Blunt, Kate Mara, Jonah Hill, Chris Hemsworth, and Henry Cavill, were born! Ronald Reagan was President of the USA, and Margaret Thatcher was the UKâs Prime Minister. That same year, Bjarne Stroustrup was in the middle of developing the first version of the C++ programming language, ARPANET standardized TCP/IP. Borland announced Turbo Pascal, created by Anders Hejlsberg (who went on to join Microsoft, and create J++, C# and TypeScript). 1983 was also the year AT&T released UNIX System V R1, and BSD 4.2 was released, introducing the pseudoterminal for the first time (the progenitor to Windowsâ ConPTY we introduced to Windows in 2018 đ) I was 13, and spent every spare second that I wasnât finishing my homework or doing my chores, writing BASIC and assembly code on one of the hottest home computers of the time â the BBC Micro sporting 32KB RAM (yes, 32,768 bytes, total!), powered by a MOS Technology 6502 processor running at a BLAZING 2MHz. When not coding, I was usually playing one of the most groundbreaking games of all time: âEliteâ by David Braben & Ian Bell. In 1983, Apple launched the 1MHz 6502-powered Apple IIe for US$1,395 (> $3,500 in 2020). Apple also launched the first commercially available computer with a GUI â the Apple Lisa. The Lisa contained a staggering 1MB RAM, and ran the awesome Motorola 68000 processor at an astounding 5MHz, but it cost $9,995 (> $25,000 in 2020 dollars), so all I could do was peer at it through the window of the one computer store in our town authorized to sell Appleâs products ⊠and dream. And, in 1983 Microsoft released MS-DOS 2.0 (source here), and GW-BASIC for the IBM PC XT and compatibles. What IS GW-BASIC? GW-BASIC was a BASIC interpreter derived from IBMâs Advanced BASIC/BASICA, which itself was a port of Microsoft BASIC. Microsoftâs various BASIC implementations can trace their origins all the way back to Bill Gates & Paul Allenâs implementation of Microsoftâs first product â a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800. During the late â70s and 80s, Microsoftâs BASIC was ported to many OEMâs specific platform and hardware needs, and for several processors popular at that time, including the 8088, 6502, 6809, Z80, and others."

[Freedos-user] unp - "Executable file restore utility"
Dear Friends, How are you doing? At random, I was watching a youtube video on password cracking of dos games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMz_PYnpJPY) and I found unp (http://unp.bencastricum.nl) Maybe we could ask the author if he could add an open-source license so we can add on FreeDOS? "What the ... is UNP? Yeah.. good question... If you start it, it's first line will tell you it's an "Executable file restore utility". And I guess that is exactly what it was when I started it. When I started UNP it was written to be able to decompress (restore) all kinds of compressed executable files (for MS-DOS that is). What is UNP capable of? As explained in the previous section, UNP is able to decompress executable files. But while developing it, I found the need for additional features which I implemented as well. UNP is now capable of doing much and much more to your file than just decompression: - Convert your executable file from a .COM to a .EXE structure and vice versa. - Insert small files (comments for example) into .EXE file's headers. - Remove an overlay from an .EXE file. - Copy just the overlay from an .EXE file to another file. - Merge overlays into your image (.EXE files only) . - Optimize and shrink your .EXE file by removing useless data from the header. - Increase your header's size to a multiple of 512 (some claim that this causes the program to be loaded faster). - Optimize relocations items (makes the program hdropt from pkware obsolete). What routines can UNP remove?

Hi Alain/All, How are you doing?

Actually, it depends on how you do configure the kernel building :) So, when building the (Linux) kernel you have some options like: "*" => for absolutely required features, this means your kernel well have this feature "embedded" on it "M" => for "module" features, so, setting to "M" will allow you to "modprobe" any driver you need as long as you set it as "M" And in this case, not on ubuntu, but any other distro, they simply build the kernel with tons of drivers as 'module' Also, when you download ubuntu kernels, you also download it's "kconfig" So, you already have all ubuntu kernel configuration available to build your own kernel The link is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ For example, mainline ubuntu kernel 4.3: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/ And inside this link you will find the patch with all 'kconfig' that you need... http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/0003-configs-based-on-Ubuntu-4.3.0-0.6.patch > And there is another point that is important for me: I intend to use > FreeDOS along with other Linux things.

Well, you can still use it :) many softwares to handle the network stack can be built on buildroot without requiring further work it it as simple as mark "*" on those softwares on buildroot 'menuconfig' and then traditional 'make' :) And for any software that you may want to add you can do that too if you're lazy and don't want to get along with uclibc, you can recompile your software 'statically' (using standard gnu libc and all other libs you may need, that way you don't depend on uclibc) I never had any issue with builroot/uclibc in years a long time ago i used this to build a thin-client like solution and it worked like a charm > A better alternative would be to start with a minimal version od Ubuntu > and stripp some things off. For this, maybe you could use the 'uck - ubuntu customization kit' Last version is from 2013 but with a few changes you can easily remaster ubuntu in a few minutes...

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS running on Linux
Hi All, Well, Maybe we could use buildroot [1] to create such minimalist distro Buildroot is very flexible and allows to embed X Last time i played with it, i was able to create a distro in ~14MB (squashfs) with python and X I know that squashfs is not feasible for older machines, but we can tune the compression on buildroot :) The only thing is to add dosemu on it which is not difficult, but i would suggest to compile dosemu 'statically' and then copy the binaries...

Re: [Freedos-user] adding executable file to FreeDOS 1.1 installation image
Hi Martin, files are probably not on your a:\ but on your cd mount point (maybe d:\?) in order to add to your files on a:\ you will need to edit the img file which represents a virtual floppy disk as far as i know isolinux has the magic configuration which points out to the img file i said before... maybe Bern or Eric can give you more details...

Hi All/Auer-San! Oh, i got it! ehehehe, Sheldon Cooper would say "what a newbie..." and then "bazinga!" ehehehe :) jokes a part, besides win3x support for multitask, is there any other way to multitask (Free)DOS without breaking legacy software or using obscure techniques? just philosophising/out of my curiosity...

Re: [Freedos-user] Multitiasking under DOS ?
Btw, while we can't push any much modern idea would be possible to implement a thread facility in FD kernel using protothread http://www.sics.se/~adam/pt/ ? it would allow many interesting things or at least, we could use on FD install to unzip packages in parallel?

Re: [Freedos-user] how to create a large freedos image
Hi,
both qemu and bochs have such 'image creation tool'
on bochs they call bximage.exe
on qemu they call qemu-img.exe
so, you can use any of those tools to create a 'raw image'
after that, you'll configure your virtual machine to use this
raw image and then you can install any operating system
so, after creating your raw image you can run fdisk inside
your vm...
hope it helps,
See Ya,

Hi guys, well, as we can see, there are many approach to do this, but we need to follow a practical approach so, i'm in favor of a \bin directory for all fd packages and 3rd party sw should be separeted with their developers don't want to create a 'fdished package' of course, this is my opinion and we must open it for vote, imho See YA!

Re: [Freedos-user] On to FreeDOS 2.0...
Hi guys, IMHO, we should list small and simple things to do first, Specially because it is faster and we have not enough manpower :( while we all want many things, we have to take care of our dreams otherwise we can stall just like gnu Hurd, which is a *really* amazing project but is almost dead :( Also, we already did the brainstorm a long time ago just before FreeDOS 1.0 release, so, let's merger Jim's/Blair's/others doc and take small and simple things and do it, step by step, I know sometimes we just want to work on our own projects, because they are funny for us I mean, our own projects are funny for us because they are interesting for us, but would be possible other developers join some project which needs more help? I hope it helps :) Regards and Best Wishes, Geraldo ps: Eric released devload 3.18 and upx 3.0 was release sometime ago but just noticed today :( On 12/05/07, Florian Xaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/ evolves... :-) > > I don't like it.

Re: [Freedos-user] About the VMWARE suggestion.
Hi guys, i myself prefer qemu which seems(imho) faster bochs, gpl and for linux hosts now they have what they call kvm - http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki this feature can be found on mainline linux kernel(2.6.20+) but you will need a recent intel or amd processor, kvm uses intel's vt instruction or amd-v instructions, also if you don't have a really recent processor don't worry they have kqemu a module that works on windows or linux and speedup qemu sometimes 5x... another important thing is that qemu is really simple for example "qemu -m ram -boot boot-device -fda flp -hda hd -cdrom cdrom.iso -localtime -soundhw all -usb" ram -> how much ram you want to allocate boot-device -> a for floppy, c for (real)hdd or images, d for cdrom(real or virtual) flp -> name of virtual or real floppy hd -> name of virtual or real hdd cdrom.iso -> name of virtual or real cdrom -localtime -> to get your system time -soundhw all -> to support audio -usb -> to support usb i advise you to use qemu, give it a chance :P qemu - www.qemu.org kvm - http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki Regards, Geraldo On 14/03/07, Mark Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Giorgos wrote: > >> DON"T USE MICROSOFT'S VIRTUAL PC.

[Freedos-user] freedos
hi folks, i'm geraldo from brazil and this email is a mix of questions/congratulations and other things. a little introduction of myself i'm geraldo from brazil as i said above and i'm a huge freedos fan. well, i knew freedos a long time ago when it was at beta5 version. i'm a student of "information systems" here in brazil and always that i can i make some tests for eric. so i separated this email in some parts... congratulation, support eric/jason hood/all developers, support pcmcia driver, lucho<>jack (udma driver rules), internationalization/docs, irc people, kernel development, distribution, misc so here it goes, i hope to be not banished of mailing list :) congratulations --- wow i think that the freedos people does a nice work :) my little "try" to contribute to freedos is trying to help eric, i make some tests for eric always that i can. support eric/jason hood/all developers -- please support eric, jason and all others developers where is bart, lucho, john elliot, jason hood, imre leber, daniel nagy, steve nickolas, steffen kaiser, joe cosentino and even where is Pat Villani? all those guys made matter on FreeDOS project, of course i'm missing a lot of other important names here... why am i saying it? We need all developers here, this is why i said "where is" I'm not saying about eric, jeremy, tom, arkady, jh, bernd, jlam and other people because they are already active on FreeDOS development, and i think that they all love, live, think in FreeDOS 24h per day, just like me :) i also like the utilities of jason hood (http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/index.html) this guy does a nice job maintaining shsucdx, lfn driver and some others he is like Eric, babysitting softwares :) so if you can, support him too :) support pcmcia driver - why develop an pcmcia driver for dos? i think this is a nice thing which can be really usefull it will extend freedos features and it is like udma drive for freedos once only freedos have this feature, of course i know that i can run on other doses but it does matter once it will be maintained by someone which develops mainly for freedos I know that eric, already talked about it. i'm talking about it again to know if someone is interested in developing this driver for freedos community. I don't know the license, i just know that it was "donated" by deskwork (http://www.deskwork.de/) guys that are making an OS written in pascal AFAIK. please, if you are interested talk to Eric directly, ok? lucho<>jack (udma driver rules) --- what happened?(if you allow me to know, of course) the udma is simply magic :) it is amazing what udma driver can do for us :) nice work Lucho and Jack and please, don't fight Lucho/Jack, FreeDOS community needs both, ok? internationalization/docs - i Think that we need a "strong" work on documentation. We need more people working on documentation, i myself translated some documentation for pt_br but it needs some revisions... another important thing is make all FreeDOS documentation compatible with the linux documentation project why? because doing it, we can produce better documentation(follow standards is good AFAIK...) and another important thing is submit it to the linux documentation project and translating documentation will help a lot people that doesn't speak english. doing this FreeDOS will be accessible for everyone interested, because people will have a chance to read manuals in your native language. irc people -- I think that irc is a nice form of communication that can be better explored, most time when i join the fd chanel i just see the same guys (i think 5 or 6) martin stromberg, tassilo, eric and some other guys that are always there(uhm, sorry people, i don't remember all names). So why am i saying it? well, i think that if we have an irc chanel we need to use it, right? of course that i know that some of you are married and maybe have children and wives to care but if you have some time, please join our chanel, it would be nice at least talk directly to you about FreeDOS, i think that it is even better that mailing list, because it works as a instant messager :) so talk to people to use irc :) kernel development -- what about stop development for a time and revise code before release FreeDOS 1.0? I think that we are near and far at the same time of FD1. why? because we already have a (nice) kernel and a (nice too) shell (Free)DOS is a replacement of DOS, right? So i think that we need to care about of the "FreeDOS World" that is check if we already have this utility, develop(or improve) I alreay know the all the "todo list" from the "oficial" todo list to Eric's todo list and also post FD1. i think that not all programs are prepared for internationalization, i don't remember the name of the library that make softwares able to work in other language. there is a long way to m

Hi folks, Some updates Some Eric's comments/suggestions: >Hi, could you tell all lists that the discussion / saga >continues on freedos-user? I am on freedos-user, freedos-devel >and freedos-kernel, not on freedos-freecom or fd-doc-list, and >the latter are pretty quiet at the moment anyway, because we >have no dedicated doc workers right now (except maybe Johnson >and Fox) and because Steffen cannot do much for FreeCOM at the >moment either. Only few people, like Erwin and Jeremy, can >compile FreeCOM at all. So could you redirect the answers to freedos-useratlists.sourceforge.net (please change at -> @) once most people are on freedos-user :) and all kind of answers are welcome :) __ Acabe com aquelas janelinhas que pulam na sua tela.
