[Freedos-user] FreeDOS wishlist

2015-05-16 Thread Mateusz Viste
Hi all,

Yesterday a post on the freedos devel list gave birth to a 'wishlist' of 
things that would be needed in FreeDOS.

I repost this list here, since I am curious what other DOS users think. 
If you see something missing, that is both within a reasonable technical 
scope and represents a tangible real-case need, please tell. If there's 
feedback, I will compile a clean list and post it somewhere on the 
FreeDOS wiki, so that would be a nice place to send anyone that asks 
'how could I contribute'.

Here's the list:

Creating packages:
- Cyclicly making sure all we have packaged so far is still up to date
- Creating packages for (free) DOS sofware that is not packaged yet
- Porting existing non-DOS software to DOS
- Nagging old shareware authors to open their ancient source code to the
community

Developing user tools:
- A http(s) browser that works with today's web pages (CSS3, HTML5, JS...)
- Picture viewer/converter, like SEA DOS Viewer
- Extend one of the existing network stacks with full IPv6 support
- Create a FreeDOS installer that could be used on FreeDOS v1.2
- Interconnectivity tools (ie. 'how to transfer files between a FreeDOS
box and another PC, for example MSDOS had interlnk) - maybe a NFS 
browser, or even just a free
equivalent of the old LapLink tool (there's File Maven of course, but 
it's not free)

Developing low-level drivers:
- Drivers for modern, unsupported hardware (mostly Sound and networking)
- support for GPT partitions within the FreeDOS kernel and associated 
tools (format, fdisk, chkdsk...)
- for sound, a new API based on the VESA sound standard could be nice
for new apps
- Wider/better/easier USB support
- Implementing something better than FAT32 in the FreeDOS kernel, that
supports journalling (ext3?)

Hi,
sorry if this has been mentioned.
I would love to have native networking so one can run wireless and or 
Ethernet  cards.  I do understand some support exists, but last thread 
indicated that it is a bit dated.
would personally let me put freedos on a laptop for road use without 
compromising my main dos computer setup.

 common, e.g., to format DVD-RAM's as FAT32 (with a 2k sector size), even 
 though DVD-RAM's aren't all that popular these days.

Re: [Freedos-user] MMD library

2015-05-16 Thread Micheal Muniko
Headers added.

The compiler is OpenWatcom and it is protected mode.

 Not to complain, but it's hard to understand what this do exactly, and

 What compiler is it targetted to? Protected mode or real mode? If real
 mode, what memory model? What kind of files does this play?

 There is no include headers provided even, so it's impossible to guess
 the functions prototypes.

 Also, being a closed-source DOS library in 2015 makes it very unlikely
 to be used by anyone.

 It's nice you try to do stuff of course, but as it is now, I fear the
 library is unusable.

Hi Karen,

I'm not sure I understand what you are meaning exactly by 'native' 
networking. Netwoking in DOS is relying on a packet driver, and then 
it's only a matter of having the right application to do the job. Of 
course it implies you have a packet driver for the specific network 
card. IIRC, there's very little packet driver support for wifi cards 
(and probably not at all when considering anything else than 802.11 B). 
Personally I use a cheap $10 access point that provides me with a 
wifi-ethernet connectivity for my DOS machine.

Anyway, could you please provide more intel on what you are having 
troubles exactly?

cheers,
Mateusz

Re: [Freedos-user] Any open-source DOS picture viewers out there?

2015-05-16 Thread TJ Edmister
I've been working on a program which can load BMP/JPG, and optionally  
apply various color adjustment/reduction and scaling. It's mainly for my  
own use, but if there is interest I could release it under a specific  
license. It is written in FreeBASIC (with some inline assembly), and hence  
can be compiled for DOS and run with at least 486+VGA.
http://www.hyakushiki.net/misc/imgtoolb.zip

On a semi-related note, my 3D model editor (which shares some code) can  
run in DOS:

 Hello list,

 I was browsing the FreeDOS list of packages and I noticed that we have
 no picture viewer. I know lots of picture viewers for DOS (my favorite
 being by far the excellent SEA DOS Viewer), but none of these I know is
 open. It's really sad to see so many fine softwares going to waste
 because of closed sources.

 Anyone know about a free (NOT freeware) DOS picture viewer ? Blocek can
 be used as a basic picture viewer, but it is much more focused on being
 a text editor (as it should be), not really a picture viewer.

Hi,
clearly mixing terms, distracted when i wrote..anniversary of my dad's 
death today.
I was thinking of two separate features.
Native networking allows the use of USB drives  and the like without 
drivers  for them.
I have this working fine in ms dos using a USB driver I shared here.  still 
it would be nice to have it more solidly built in.
As for the wireless idea, I do not need many options, just one, with 
802-11 B 
working  fine by me.  I do not want to take access points around with me, 
I do not have a smart phone at all.   Just 
the driver the card and the ability to take  my dos laptop into the sort 
of settings I know still support that level of connection.  Enough for me 
to want the  option if it can be found.
Hope that is more clear. I respect how you choose to do things,  I choose to 
do this   differently and at a different speed lol.

[Freedos-user] For CD: Error reading from drive D: data area: drive not ready

2015-05-16 Thread John Hupp
Hi, all.

It's been some years since I've been active on this list, but I hope you 
can come through for me again now.

I installed 1.1 from the bootable CD, but from the installed DOS, I 
can't access a CD-ROM.  I get Error reading from drive D: data area: 
drive not ready.

I found this for VirtualBox:

For real hardware, is the XCDROM workaround the best solution?
