[Freedos-user] How to install Ontrack Disk Manager without floppy?
I wish to try Dinamic Drive Overlay, which can be used by Ontrack Disk manager (...any fdisk's, either in BasLinux or in FreeDos can not touch hdd after 8 gb...) (and floppy device is broken, so, I can not use floppy) So, can you tell me any hint? -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

[Freedos-user] uHex - a hex editor for DOS released under GPL
Hello, Just wanted to announce that I made this weekend a little hex viewer for DOS, which I released under GNU GPL. Might be of some interest to anyone needing to peek at binary files from time to time. An extract of its readme file: uHex is a simple and fast hex viewer for DOS. It has been written with care to work fast even on an 8086 CPU, providing support for large files (up to 2 GiB) while using minimal amounts of memory. http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/software/uhex/ cheers Mateusz -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [Freedos-user] uHex - a hex editor for DOS released under GPL
I like it. I have to ask though, when editing a large file, is there a way to seek to a particular offset aside from scrolling for ages? If not I think that would be a high priority feature to add (2nd place would probably be a search function).

[Freedos-user] New program - hexed.zip
I just made a hex viewer and editor for DOS, I still have to debug it, so if you find any bugs in it let me know. I made this as I needed a small hexeditor/viewer, and this fits the bill. http://digitalatoll.com/pub/DMSOFT/hexed.zip -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [Freedos-user] Newbie Q - How do I get a USB flash drive operating please?
Egads - you are very right to remind me there Dennis and Rugxulo - defragging is a bit of a reflex habit from my time as a disgruntled MS user, I never consider it in my (user-level) Puppy Linux. I'll give DOSFSCK a run, as I still query the format process on the SD-card. Thanks too for the Chess links - my son and daughter are both just getting interested (though they prefer Go), and I'm afraid 'Battle Chess', with its animated combat scenes and relatively simple AI, is the big hit at the moment. Actually, I'm trying to be a bit of a connoisseur with the game choices - only picking the very best/highly regarded in various Dos Game forums and repository sites, and Rebel Chess you mentioned rates pretty highly in the Chess forums - I'll give your other suggestions a go too.

I made this as I needed a small hexeditor/viewer, and this fits the bill. Well, just had a quick look at it and beside the 32KB filesize limit, as you load the whole file at once, I immediately noticed at least a couple of issues: - in the switch statement for the cursor movement, you misspelled the default case as defualt, which means there is no default and instead an undeclared variabel with the name defualt... - you do not check against cursor movements beyond the actual read number of bytes in your buffer or the buffer size itself, resulting displaying nonsense beyond that hth, Ralf -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Hi! No, you do have to scroll for ages as you say :) Currently, you can only go up/low pgup/pgdown and home/end. You are right - this (jump to offset) and a search feature are on the todo list and definitely need to be added in the next version. Thanks for your feedback!

I'll give DOSFSCK a run, as I still query the format process on the SD-card. I don't believe you *can* do it in Puppy, though a variable will be the file system you install on. I have Puppy here on an old notebook along with Ubuntu. I installed both on Ext4 filesystems, which add the ability to use extents, and in my rough tests offered about a 25%-33% I/O boost. The notebook does UDMA 4 at best (BIOS limitation), and the main constraint is slow disk I/O. Puppy and bundled apps, chosen for small size, run well enough. Larger apps are problems. I don't even try to run a current Firefox on it. It takes 45 seconds just to load, and is perceptibly sluggish when up. To the extent that I browse from it (seldom), I use Opera or Midori. Puppy and Ubuntu mount each other's slices on boot, and I did some fiddling to share apps between them, with one copy of large things living on one side or the other but accessable from both. While Ext file systems are fairly fragmentation resistant, they *do* become fragmented, and being able to defrag is a design goal of Ext4. __ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.1 install
I usually don't use the installers, try to install manually: - Copy KERNEL.SYS + FREECOM.COM + SYS.COM + WDE.COM - Backup B.S. with WDE - SYS C: /BOOTONLY On 2/9/13, Ray Davison ray...@charter.net wrote: A little background. My first PC ran DOS 3.3 on a 28M HDD that I broke into three partitions, all primaries. Since the extended came out every machine I have had has had a single primary - 2G or less, Fat 16 - with one or more installs of DOS and maybe Win9X. The rest of the drive, and any other drives have been a single extended, which carried whatever GUI OSs I was running as well as apps and data. I just took a fresh HDD, created a 2G, primary at the front, and for the first time ever, that partition is FAT32. I then created several fat32 logicals. I ran the 1.1 CD. When I got to the MBR selection at the end I selected the boot loader. Boot yields non system disk. Ran CD again. Selected make floppy. Nothing was written to the disk. Ran CD again. Selected write FreeDOS to MBR. Boot is OK. Should the boot loader and floppy selections be expected to work?
