sound..in what way? If you are using the install package, it includes sound drivers. Will need more specifics, i. e. you have a sound card that is not working how? Kare On Wed, 1 Nov 2023, Dale E Sterner via Freedos-user wrote: You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to

You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get sound on it. I deleted a command called KILL on it. Do you know what that command does because I don't? I love the large file size that it supports. Freedos is limited to 2 gigs and PCdos stops a 8 gigs. cheers DS On Tue, 31 Oct

I am sorry if this question is very very silly. My goal is to extract, not to create a 7zip file. The file referenced by Eric, seems to have archiving tools, but not extracting ones. Unless I am missing something profoundly obvious? Thanks profoundly, On Tue, 31 Oct 2023, Ralf Quint via

Hello Karen, As I've stated in my previous email: * unzip is for decompressing zip files * zip is for creating zip files * p7zip is for BOTH creating and extracting 7z files (and many more actually) With p7zip, this is not an Alcohol 68% and Alcohol 52% situation, like it is with zip

You should be alright if you grab a copy of CWSDPMI and add it either to: - one of the directories in your %PATH% - or you put it in your current working directory - or you put it alongside P7ZIP.EXE CWSDPMI is also packaged by FreeDOS:

Do you know maybe where do these limits come from? I thought it should be 4GiB for both since this is the file size limit for FAT32. Best regards, Michał Dec W dniu 01.11.2023 o 21:33, Dale E Sterner via Freedos-user pisze: You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get

If you download p7zip from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/archiver/p7zip.zip, you can use the file ARCHIVER\P7ZIP\P7ZIP.EXE Optimally, you should extract the entire directory ARCHIVER\P7ZIP somewhere and write a P7ZIP.BAT file in your %PATH% that

Thanks again Eric! I was likewise confused by some of what is here. your wisdom about what to run has presented another challenge. now, this is the first time in a while a machine has been built for me, without my being present for the dos installation itself. when I run the p7zip command I

Hi! You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get sound on it. Sound, network and graphics are not related to DOS as operating system: Because the kernel does not support those, the applications, not the operating system, are the ones who have to support it. This also means

I did download Eric's file, as I do not use freedos. The information indicates that it might be a port of a windows package. My search suggested that I should fine an executable called 7za, or even just 7z, but it is not there. the p7z file does not work at all. On Wed, 1 Nov 2023, Micha?~B

Hi! I did download Eric's file, as I do not use freedos. While you get extra package management features by opening our zipped app packages with a package manager, unzipping them with any UNZIP style tool will usually be sufficient. So you should be fine. The information indicates that it
