Thanks for interesting. I would like add abilities to Minibox. But, I don't have much time for this. I would like someone developing. I have cloned in GitHub. GitHub Page: https://github.com/ercanersoy/Minibox Best regards, Ercan

Hi guys, I've been writing my own set of UNIX tools for DOS for personal use. Same here, only for Windows. :-) (Designed with portability in mind.) Would anyone like me to publish these here in their own thread? Yes, please. I realized long ago that the DOS batch syntax is so poor that yo

[Freedos-devel] Linux commands in DOS - Minibox

2017-05-25 Thread Ercan Ersoy
Hello. I have developed another program for FreeDOS. This program is Minibox. Minibox provides some Linux commands for DOS. Source code compiles by DJGPP. I suggest compressing this for UPX. Minibox requires DPMI. Website: https://gitlab.com/ercanersoy/Minibox Best regards, Ercan
