I don't know about ARJ (clone), I've never needed to use it. I (very
rarely) used UnARJ, which seems "Free" (to my naive eyes, but it's
always hard to tell). So, if you really want ARJ support, include that

ZOO is another older archive format. The only two gotchas that I
(barely) remember are that 2.01 was public domain yet lacked "higher"
compression (LZW, now patent expired). 2.10 had some weird clause
about "don't charge more than $xyz" (against Compuserve?), but that

There's also (public domain) BOOZ, but that's only the unpacker. So
you could also just include that (instead) if desired.

AFAIK, it hasn't changed lately, as there is no maintainer. So just grab this:

But I haven't looked closely (thousands of files, ugh!). The only

(unlike in 0.82pl3 sources).

Hmmm, seems "suppl.tgz" is included twice, but the (.tgz) CRC fails.
Yeah, I vaguely remember that error, ugh!

So also grab Suppl from here:

And no, AFAIK, the "newer" FreeCOM version is not stable, it still had

Not many! (But don't forget Judas Player's ALSA/HDA/GPL version.)

Sound (or just low-level stuff overall) is probably the weakest link in DOS.

Unfortunately, even with relatively good development tools, we still
don't have enough volunteers willing to kick the tires.

Which? Mpxplay, maybe a port of mplayer, experimental ports of
the HX DOS extender which can run simple Windows programs which
may include DOSBOX which could run some DOS games which might
help those to believe that you have SoundBlaster while DOSBOX
and HX play your sound via HDA? Which other DOS apps have HDA?

Cheers, Eric :-)

PS: Yes, you can also try DOSEMU, DOSBOX, QEMU and maybe some
other virtual PC for DOS games, if you have Windows or Linux.

A port to DJGPP for Links2 exists (but not sure if in proper package
form). At least, I don't see any package for it under
/distributions/1.1/repos/net/ . The full (non-lite) .EXE does support
HTTPS/SSL and both text-only or graphics viewing.

Easy enough to just use QEMU (under *BSD), which should work fine
(with either PCNTPK or NE2000).

No universal or "good" support, but a very very few DOS apps do have
(some) limited HDA support.

And, just to be clear, QEMU audio is somewhat unstable (in my
experience), so while other stuff works there, don't get your hopes up
that it will fulfill all your DOS sound needs. Honestly, for sound,
DOSBox is probably better.

I see your (Jerome Shidel) list of packages, BASE and ALL, no need to quote the 
list.

I think there is only one web browser, Dillo?

Are others available as add-ons: Lynx, Links-GUI, Arachne?  I can't think of 
any other current or recent web browsers for DOS.

This so far is mainly a matter of curiosity, since my Ethernet has no DOS 
packet driver, and my sound (Intel high-definition audio) has no DOS support 
from what I read on this emailing list, but is good in NetBSD and FreeBSD, and 
I think also Haiku.

There were small doubts about XMGR being clean-room without MS HIMEM
contamination but no other packages from the same author had reasons
to drop them. I think there was a misunderstanding here. Also, both
the disk drivers and the ramdisk by that author are quite useful :-)

XMGR along with UIDE and several other packages have been dropped from FreeDOS 
1.2.

This was not my decision. But, I completely agree with the reasoning behind 
their removal.

These are still available on the ibiblio repository. So, if you really need 
them in your version of FreeDOS 1.2. You can easily add them to your copy of 
one of the USB sticks. Then, running “fdimples /config” from the USB stick, you 
can even always have them install. 

Thanks, Jerome

That is only part of what is needed.
Some packages have wrong or old license information. For example, some have 
switched from GPL to BSD. Others, are listed as GPL, but are actually GPLv2. 
And so on.

So you just want us to weed out the license-incompatible ones??

Needs (easy) workaround for closed-source COM2EXE build utility. (I
just made a debug script to create the specific .EXE header.)

> base\jemm

Need to remove JLOAD.EXE and *.JLM.


(Nothing else obvious sticks out as much.)

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2 needs you

[Jerome E. Shidel Jr.]

Hello All, 

FreeDOS 1.2 needs your help verifying package information. This is one of the 
main holdups for the
next OS release. Verifying this data is correct is essential. Especially the 
the licensing information.  
GPL, GPLv2, MIT, BSD …… Other information, such as website, authors and etc, 
should also be
 verified and updated.

So, please select some of these packages that you can verify the 
APPINFO\.LSM text file
data. The sooner this is done, the sooner we can have FreeDOS 1.2. :-)

Update this thread to prevent double work and directly email me the updated LSM 
file(s) (subject 
PKGNAME.LSM to prevent being filtered as spam) I have already removed a couple 
packages for 
which I know the information is correct.

Thank you in advance, Jerome
