I am sending a GPLed version of the Unix make utility in the hopes that other
programmers can make it great again! Please send back improvements.

I first mentioned libfp a few years ago, and I thought I could enhance its
development by releasing what I have so far.
The library libfp is the complement to libmpi. It handles floating-point math
and complex math as part of the C runtime library. Version 0.0 is incomplete,
and I hope that pe
Unto an unsuspecting world filled with innumerate people, I have submitted unto
Jim Hall the latest version of libm, libm-0.8. I fixed a couple of things in
csqrt and tanh. If anyone is brave enough to test my math, go ahead, I could
use the feedback!

FreeDOS Edlin 2.24 has been released to an unsuspecting world! Jim Hall sent me
some edits that moved the copyright to the help screen and changed "Abort edit"
to "Really quit". It's available on SourceForge and Jim should mirror it very
soon now!

Adding a /QUIET option would be extraneous, as it wasn't in the original Edlin
and could easily be achieved by "edlin > NUL:". The copying message is
important!
The original Edlin had a /b option but I don't know how much of an improvement
it is.

I did have a lot of communication about Edlin when it was first released, but
not as much anymore. -- Gregory

Submitted for your approval, the latest version of libm, FreeDOS's public
domain math library, has been released! For this version, I have worked on edge
cases regarding complex numbers and dug deep into the C99 Standard.
Surprisingly, I have not received any communication whatsoever regarding
I don't keep track of whether changes had been made, but if someone wants to
hack it in, be my guest and send me an e-mail. I still have to check on what
hysterical historical behavior was for this, so I winged it.

I tried to make Edlin portable enough so that multiple toolchains would work on
it. I normally use Cygwin with GCC and make to compile it, but FreeDOS is a
DOS, so I tried to make it so that multiple compilers could compile it. Forgive
my wording here...
Anyway, tweaking config.h should take ca
I made recompiling Edlin easy for non-programmers, so that shouldn't be a
problem. You don't have to know a lick of C to recompile it.

Willi Spiegl said in the meeting that there is no NLS in Edlin. I beg to differ!
There are two different ways of supporting NLS in Edlin. The first (easy) way
is that in the source code, all the message strings are in a file called
msgs.h, so by translating the strings, putting the translations

FD edlin ignores a leading space. If you want the leading space to be searched
for, put the string in quotes; e.g.
1r"written"," written"
The reason why I didn't stick a ^Z there is because I wanted to get away from
control characters in the commands, and a comma just looks better, IMHO.

While perusing Github, I noticed that the NLS project hasn't upgraded Edlin,
which has three new messages to be translated. I also noticed that recently,
many of the downloads of Edlin from SourceForge are from Hong Kong, which I
found amusing. I also found a "fork" of Edlin in Github where the

When Jim compiled Edlin 2.22 for the video, I noticed that the OpenWatcom
compiler emitted a warning. Of course, this caused a disturbance in the Force.
The new version 2.23 cleans up that warning, and therefore FreeDOS Edlin can
now be thrown into the gladiatorial arena and slay the software de
In a world where mathematicians are the lowest of the low, I have sent Jim the
latest versions of these low-level libraries. These versions contain mostly bug
fixes. I am still wondering if someone out there can check the math. -- Gregory___
