FLTK is based on XWindows which is used with Linux. I ported a subset of
XWindows to DOS called NanoX or previously called MicroWindows which is
sufficient to run the FLTK GUI. FLTK has no Win32 API compatibility.
Microwindows has a tiny Win32 API compatible interface but compared to FLTK

Hi Bernd,
thank you very much for your message. If you use isolinux-debug.bin for
fdbasecd.iso then that explains why ISOHYBRID will not work.
Yes, I was using Linux since I was not aware that there was an ISOHYBRID
compiled for Windows/DOS. Thank you for the link!
I found the ISO file you sen
I try to run the ISOHYBRID utility on the fdbasecd.iso file while running
Linux. ISOHYBRID returns with the error message: "boot loader does not have

Already replaced the isolinux.bin file on the fdbasecd.iso with a later
version but the message remains.

A floppy image will probably not be used a lot to write it on a real floppy
today. I use it as a base to make bootable CDs according to the ElTorito
standard. Or use it with Bochs to boot from that image.
The files on the floppy image will be enough of the FreeDOS distribution for

A very good Wiki page on printing with netcat!
Netcat can be used in many ways. I find connecting to a command shell on a

As Eric mentioned, FLTK is cross-platform, it can be used with Linux,
Windows, Apple MAC plus my port for DOS.
So if you develop applications with FLTK for DOS these can easily be ported
to Linux, Windows and MAC. This will provide a larger user base for an
application than if it would run on
My FLTK/Xlib port supports Unicode and truetype fonts. This allows to use
Unicode character sets with DJGPP.

Hi Henrique,
FlWriter did support right to left text but I turned that off since I do not
speak Arabic and could not properly test it. If you need that I can make a
special version for you. I guess one would have to add an arabic font for
that too.

Nano-X and NXlib are released using the MPL licence which allows to
integrate the code into commercial projects. It can also be integrated into
a GPL project.

Hi Garry,
I had exactly the same setup on one of my PCs. Grub has options to hide the

I am sorry but the FreeDOS pages are examples of pages Dillo will not render

Provided you have a packet driver running on your PC, just look through the
