I can't help but wonder though - is there any practical need behind such work? I don't really see what this would improve. Sure, it would make FDNPKG potentially run on 80286 CPUs - but I am not convinced anyone would want to run a package manager on a 286. Disk space is usually scarce on these machines (if there is a hard disk in the first place), so I'd rather think people will turn to good old manual 'copying what I need' on such hardware. It's worth noting that 8086 and 80186 are out of scope anyway due to memory constraints, since FDNPKG definitely requires more than 640K of RAM to work.

[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder
MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LISTS Hi! If you are new to the FreeDOS mailing lists, welcome! If you have been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you should be familiar with the rules by now. --- The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free, complete implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is still a popular system, and plenty of hardware out there supports DOS. For more information about FreeDOS, visit: http://www.freedos.org/ We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists: 1. Please don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what Usenet turned into. 2. Keep posts on-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a reply off-list. Some suggestions: ** Please consider sending only plain text email messages, rather than messages formatted in HTML. Plain text makes it easier for everyone to read your posts. Above all, HTML email is particularly difficult for some screen readers. ** For best results, provide a bit of context for your reply. Cite just the bit of conversation you are replying to. At the same time, be careful not to copy the whole conversation if you don't need to. --- Thanks for taking an interest in FreeDOS! /* This is an automated message sent out to the mailing list at the first of each month.

[Freedos-user] FDNPKG v0.99
Hello all, Today I released a new version of FDNPKG. Nothing major here, just a few details that were a little annoying on the long run. See the changelog below. FDNPKG v0.99 [31 Aug 2015] - [new] support for "link" files to include third-party apps into %PATH%, - [fix] compiled FDNPKG with -lemu for 387 emu, so it runs on a 386 w/o FPU, - [fix] during download, progress is shown on a single line (with refresh), - [fix] version string parser recognizes v1.0.2 as being newer than v1.01, - [fix] support for ZIP files that do not contain directory entries (zip -D), - [fix] FDNPKG is not UPXed with LZMA anymore - loads 10x faster on my 386SX, - [cfg] added repositories 'SOUND' and 'EDIT' to the default cfg file, - [cfg] sources install switched OFF by default. Project's homepage: http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/ Of course FDNPKG can update itself - so if you already use it, then simply type "FDNPKG UPDATE FDNPKG" and you will be all set. have fun, Mateusz -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
