I don't think that this is as easy as it seems. If you don't want
your shell to waste tons of low memory

You can even have a completely normal program that you run whenever you
want and "behaves" like a command com. That i

No. Almost any program

Just a newby question.
I would like to write an alternative interpreter command to replace
command.com/Freecom.
I have basic programming knowledge.
I'm clear that I must to provide a replacement for all internal commands.
Can I simply write my program in my favorite language, compile as stand

Yes but it fixes a non existing problem... At most,
it makes the directory structure match your taste,
while tastes often differ...
Yes I didn`t express myself very well it was wrong to say FileSystem it is
Directory Structure.
The reason I did consider this Directory Structure better is because I think
the purpose of FreeDOS is to develop in time not to remain in this way.
I refer also to graphic server and others thing.

Hi again,

I assume you mean /config/boot/floppy and so on:
In DOS, configuration is stored in config sys, in
autoexec bat, and possibly in configuration files
for the drivers you load, but that depends on which
drivers you load and who made
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to suggest. Sounds like
you are suggesting a directory structure (aka "directory layout") for
FreeDOS.
What you have below seems a mix of UNIX and Windows. "/config" seems
to mirror "/etc" on UNIX systems. The use of "Administrator" in some
paths sugge
Can someone, or anyone send me the programs from the FreeDOS in their own
form; I mean each one with their own files and folders in order to build the
structure mentioned earlyer in Filesystem suggestion.
You can send me the programs in mail.

Hi Andrew,
> Is freedos a reverse engineering of MS-DOS...
No. It is a program written based on the documentation
about what MS DOS does for you, how it interacts with
DOS software and drivers. At the moment, the FreeDOS
kernel behaves a lot like MS DOS even as far as some
quite exotic things ar

Not exactly a reverse-engineering, that job was done years ago, but a
reimplementation of the API certainly...

Is freedos a reverse engineering of MS-DOS... built on IA32 architecture? Are
there any ports to say... mac, sun, and other architectures?
Am curious whether freedos can be natively ported to other platforms... like
PSP, etc.
What steps are required for one to do if one wants to port freedos
Please excuse my poor expression. Here is what I wanted to say. I`m
suggesting a new filesystem witch in my opinion I think is easy to
understand by a newbie and easy to develop. Yes is true maybe it has the
disadvantage because almost every program has is own library and that means
more space but
17 matches
