Seeing as how you've referred to "chapters", it sounds like you're making
contributions to a book or dissertation or script or some sort of larger
document. I'd be wary of using a text editor instead of a word processor --
they are two very different things.
A text editor is really designed fo
If you need IDE drives, I have stacks of them, (one of the things I was
able to rescue during our recent forced move). They're all different
sizes, but I'd be willing to send you a box of them for the cost of
shipping if you want them, since I no longer have any machines that can
use them, (tho

It's a 486 dx 33, and I will have a look at that link when I get home,
thanks!
I'm not sure if I still have it, but I used to have an ide hard drive caddy
buried somewhere. I might see if I can dig that out, as I have a few ide
drives lying around.

Hi John
Fun with someone using a real machine, I am using an IBM 100DX4 running,
Freedos, DrDos and DSL (Damn Small Linux) all on three compact flash
drives.
I would try File Wizard and its internal editor,

I am using edit at the moment,so it might be safer to stick with that. By

If you go to WIndows 3.1 you have write.
If you want to stick to dos get edit.com from DOS, i'm using it and works
just fine.

Ooh, that's good to know. I'll have to check how many lines per chapter.
I'm also tempted to dig out another old drive, install windows 3.11 and try
Microsoft Office 4.3 as I've never used that before.

What do *you* really need from FreeDOS to run WP?
Probably just the BASE packages.
Or maybe the kernel + FreeCOM only.
You may also want to look at SvarDOS' floppy images:

The host machine will be more than capable, as I have installed virtual
freedos on this in the past. It's a 9th gen core i7 with 32gb, (I nearly
typed 32mb!) off ram but now I've had a chance to think about it I'll
probably just do the floppy install, purely because disk swapping is fun!
I'll end

Hi,
So, I've got the 486 computer working and am ready to install freedos and
wordperfect.
I'm thinking there are a couple of advantages to installing onto a
virtualbox machine, then formatting the physical hard drive and copying the
contents over.
It would be a lot quicker to install and I'd ha
