Hello FreeDOS community! Hope I'm doing this right, believe it or not
this is my first ever time using a mailing list in my almost three
decades of being 'an IT guy'.
I posted on the FreeDOS Facebook some weeks (months?) back about a text
editor I found called FTE.
I was wondering if someone
I am trying to format a bunch of old disks but FreeDOS format command
always fails with Error 53.
The disks are mostly OK and do format if I boot from diskette with
MS-DOS 3.1 and use that format or under FreeDOS if I format with XTree Gold.

Wow that worked like a charm.
Couldn't the Freedos Kernel be updated to work that way? [Outside my

C:\>dir
```
The directory list returns quickly, but the number of bytes free takes

The character is in position 198.
Can you check to issue ALT+198 (with the numeric pad) and see the

Hello,
To answer this mail, and Davi Ramos' question of "what a codepage is".
In classic text mode, your display adapter can only display up to 256
different characters (glyphs) simultaneously, which is obviously not enough
for having all alphabets for different languages (even less all of

Good day,
I am writing about a recent experience just in case it helps someone
else in the future. I wrote an EPUB to TXT converter and announced
it on the DOS Ain't Dead forum. It is an AWK script and it is named
epub2txt.awk. It "shells out" to other utilities to do much of the
