[Freedos-user] FDUPDATE and the 486...
Has anyone gotten fdupdate to work with a 486? I lost the link to fdupdate v0.55 and the instructions on how to use it in fdupdate v0.54. If using a 486 is the problem because of a bug in the math coprocessor or something similar, that would be nice to know. I've noticed that I get a C prompt back after the crash if I say 387=no in autoexec.bat. I haven't confirmed this, I should test with and without it to confirm. It seems to be true though. -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

I have resent it to you right now. > If using a 486 is the problem because of a bug in the math > coprocessor or something similar, that would be nice to know. Personally, I don't really believe in that, 'cause you said that it crashes when you try to apply the first update. That means that FDUPDATE has already worked correctly for a long time (relatively), as it 1) launched itself 2) launched an instance of the downloader 3) the downloader downloaded the index file of the repository 4) FDUPDATE compared the repo index with the local LSM database. Of course, I could be plainly wrong :-) Regards, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/pub_key signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

Another thing is that you can put em387.dxe or wemu387.dxe or emu387.dxe or so...? The file seems to be emu387.dxe in djdev203.zip ...

It should work. I guess other options are putting the dxe in your PATH or in the current directory or the directory where FDUPDATE is etc. Eric -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I'm getting out of the 486 business, so I may never find out if fdupdate will work on one. -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
