To be a little pedantic, Shane was behind his distribution of FreeGEM called OpenGEM, which was the last actively-maintained distribution of GEM. There were a few other distributions, including an "official" FreeGEM maintained by Eathan Clark, and my own distribution. The main GEM sites that are still around today would probably be: http://www.deltasoft.com/ - Ben's site, containing many of the original GEM components http://www.seasip.info/Gem/ - John's site, where he's still doing some impressive hacks to push GEM's boundaries http://www.owenrudge.net/GEM/ - my site, containing my old GEM distribution There are a few smaller resources scattered around the web if you can find them, but not a huge amount these days.

[Freedos-user] OSPlus Text Editor 2.1 released
Hi everyone, In case anyone was interested, I have, after about 4 years, released OSPlus Text Editor 2.1! This is a free, portable open source text editor with various nice little features, and is currently available for real-mode DOS (it should even work on an 8086, in theory), protected-mode DOS (DJGPP), Win32 and Linux. Version 2.1 has various behind-the-scenes changes and also an improvement in the converter interface, plus a variety of bug fixes. Download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/osplus/.

Re: [Freedos-user] OSPlus Text Editor 2.1 released
> Owen, may you point precuse URL and size of download? All downloads can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16241 The real-mode DOS version is 191,405 bytes and can be downloaded from a SourceForge mirror: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/osplus/ospedit-2.1-dos.zip?download There are also two DJGPP versions available from the main files page, as well as a Win32 version and the source. There's a fairly critical bug in 2.1 though which can sometimes cause a file to be deleted if it's not modified (seems to be a problem with the converter routine): I aim to get a fixed version out this weekend.

Re: [Freedos-user] OpenGEM SDK Release 1 now out!
GEM can do word processing, DTP, spread sheets, draw vector graphics and do some basic web browsing. GEM can also execute DOS applications from inside GEM (so that you'll return to GEM when the DOS application exits). It can also play MP3s (although some versions of GEMP3 don't seem to like running on plain DOS). There are some limitations to GEM. - It uses the first 640kb of memory, so it can run out of memory if you execute large applications (especially DTP or DOS applications from inside GEM) This can be 'cured' by using DJGPP - obviously, this'll require a 386 or greater, but you then have the full system's memory available to you. - It is a single-tasking enviroment Unless you use GEM/XM, of course. :-) - It is not LFN aware It can be made LFN-aware though, as Kristaps says, if there's an LFN driver loaded (eg, LFNDOS or DOSLFN or whichever way round it is, or Windows). GEMP3, for example, can make use of long filenames if it's passed them, as the DJGPP runtime automatically makes use of an LFN driver if one is loaded. Note that the GEM file selector doesn't, of course, as it's not been programmed to. -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo. Introducing Yahoo!

Hi Jim, I have a stable dedicated server located in Florida, which provides everything you require, and I could host the FreeDOS site if desired for a similar or lower price - I have plenty of space and bandwidth.

Re: [Freedos-user] Shane Land GEMini Release 3 now online!
In fact, in the new OpenGEM Release 4 people will only be able to install to C: I was getting messages of errors when people tried to install to another drive. There is no way that I can fix that myself at the moment, as it appears to be inside the GEM code itself (GEM.EXE perhaps?). GEM can install to the root of any drive. You should even be able to use SUBST to associate a path (say, C:\OPENGEM) with a drive letter (say, H:) and run GEM off the virtual drive H:, I think. -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/ --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Freedos-user] GUI
I used the floppie disks for Beta 8. I've noted a Seal2L directory under fdos, which has an install.exe in it. I had to find (on google) and run a cwsdpmi.exe in order to install seal, but I got it working. SEAL 2.0 Lambda is quite old now... SEAL 2.0.11 is the latest version (and is itself rather old, but SEAL is unfortunately not being maintained any more): download it from http://sealsystem.sf.net/, you should find it somewhat better than Lambda (2.0.10). -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Re: p7zip native DOS/DJGPP port!
libpthread.a requires libsocket.a (libwatt.a) for some reason, and p7zip requires libpthread.a Hm, where did you get your pthread library/source, as I'm pretty sure pthreads didn't require a socket library last time I used it on DJGPP.
