AccessDOS on the MS-DOS 6 supplemental disks provided "accessibility"

I suggest implementing MouseKeys functionality for FreeDOS.
I.e. Give FreeDOS the ability to input mouse movements, clicks, and
drags via the keyboard.
MouseKeys (as it is known in the Windows and Linux
environments) functionality is essential on many old PCs - because a
mouse won't wo
I think threading without multiprocessing is of very limited usefulness in DOS.
All of the other OS's already do that -- I personally don't see a lot of value
there.
I do think that adding multiprocessor support could be quite beneficial, though.

For multi-threading, at least for DJGPP, there were 4 libraries [1]:
POSIX Threads[2]
LWP [3]
PDMLWP [4]
Palantir for Allegro [5]

FWIW, I've been mulling around in my head and doing a little research on what
"threads" in DOS might need to look like. Based on what I've seen so far, I
think it might be possible to do parallel processing in DOS, but not "threads"
(at least not in the traditional sense).
There would be lots

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I really don't have a project/idea in mind but
am looking to get my hands dirty and develop/work on/debug/poke anything
that needs to be done to improve the project.
After looking at the FreeDOS roadmap (

You should be able to send some formatting codes to the printer with a batch
file (even AUTOEXEC if the printer is always powered up) to change the font
size, margins, etc.

That largely depends on what you would like to improve.

Hello Folks,

contributing but don't really know where to get started.
I currently work developing and testing printer firmware and software but
expect that this will be quite a learning curve from the QNX/Python
environments
Ah another sleep apnea night :P
Getting Started with creating packages or trying anyway.
I am grabbing everything from all the directory with FileZilla
Are the new files in devel or under the individual directories both places?
or should I follow only the web software list
thanks
