Hi guys, I've been coding free (as in use for no costs) software since 1994, with 60 thousand lines of code. ;-) It's open source but not exactly free (as in you may modify, republish it etc.) software. Since about 2010, not only I have no time to develop it but it also became obsolete, and

Hi all, Why are we doing so difficult about something that somebody not want to do. It is his thing and we have two options: - using the old one. - search for another one. I don't want to be annoying but it is the case. Maarten Op 9 sep. 2015 06:57 schreef "Steve Nickolas"

Could you stuff the keys? It should work provided your command line to be piped to the next program is short enough (15 chars) to fit into the keyboard buffer. On 9/9/2015 6:33 PM, Jerome E. Shidel Jr. wrote: > A minor snag in development is driving me nuts. > > First remember: > >

Hi Jerome, if you want to store temp results in your batch, you could work with errorlevels, the FreeCOM magic errorlevel variable or indeed a ramdrive. In the past, we often used "memdisk", which is a BOOTABLE RAMDRIVE. That way, the installer used a virtual floppy to boot. As you cannot

Hi, No solutions here, only some ranting :) - the tricky part might be to make it possible to install FreeDOS on a system where there is already something (ie. multiboot), and make it actually bootable, without breaking the other stuff. Personally I wouldn't object if FreeDOS would just

Wow, This is the most activity I've seen on this list in a while, and it's a temper tantrum of sorts over whether someone has the right to close source or open source something they wrote. Talk about comedy. So how are those bugs looking on the bug list in FreeDOS? Yeah, I probably just got
