Hello Bret Johnson, That's why I referred to both "playing" and "listening" in my original statement -- I did that on purpose. The _purpose_ of music is to be heard, not to merely be played (e.g., when no one is listening). The musicians are in fact deciding who can and can't listen to

Hi all, When it comes to releasing something as public domain, I think “The Unlicense” (aka CC0) is a great choice and maintains the spirit of public domain. Basically it says, do whatever you want with it. But, don’t blame me if it doesn’t work or breaks something.

You can attach a license statement to it (such as cc0 public domain, or MIT, or whatever) and email me (off list) a zip file. I can post this on the FreeDOS files archive at Ibibio. On Sun, Aug 28, 2022, 8:10 PM Bret Johnson wrote: > I don't use SourceForge or GitHib or anything like that. The

I don't use SourceForge or GitHib or anything like that. The source is in A86 (actually, A386 since there some Pentium-specific instructions). One of the things I was going to do before releasing it was to convert it to NASM. That takes quite a bit of work and time that I don't have right

I have a program but have never officially released called ISLOADED which I can upload/email to whoever wants to use/see it (including the source code). It tests for lots of things like video, serial/parallel ports, ANSI, DPMI/DPMS/VCPI, mouse driver, character device drivers (by name), etc.

Thanks Jim about VINFO /m to detect CPU! I did not knew it, or at least I had totally forgotten it. The sad part of it, is that it is so fancy that one cannot use virtual machines to test different CPUs, because it detects the virtual machine rather than the virtual CPU. So that Eduardo's
