That did it! "ã" and other tilde-accentuated characters are displaying perfectly now. Thanks! Although I cannot say I understand the fix, it did work and now all tilde-accentuated characters work fine everywhere in FreeDOS. I had to change "fdos" to "freedos" since that is how the directory is

[Freedos-user] How to unload a driver?

Hello, I'm loading a bunch of drivers during startup, but I'd like to try and unload them after all the setup is done. What command is for unloading drivers? I know LH and DEVLOAD are for loading. Best regards, Michał ___ Freedos-user mailing

Re: [Freedos-user] How to obtain LPR - or is there a way to use IPP?

I'm not going to be porting LPR to mTCP anytime soon; I think about 4 people would have a use for it. However, if a printer supports JetDirect printing on port 9100, then mTCP netcat can be used. Simply have your program print to a file, then use netcat to send the file to the JetDirect port on

On 9/17/2022 8:30 PM, PhilI never tried, but lpr.exe can be found in . Look in apps/apps.zip. Ah, this seems to work well, for printing a named file. Can certainly print plain text with lpr [address of printer]

[Freedos-user] How to obtain LPR - or is there a way to use IPP?

Now that I have got my FreeDOS setup working correctly again (a fresh setup and copying over my old apps sorted it), I am looking into how I might be able to print from some apps (normally they expect a directly connected printer supporting either ESC/P2 or PCL). I have not found anything about

I read somewhere that virtualbox under linux supported Speaker, but no good, just soundblaster I also found something that also suggested VirtualBox could emulate the PC Speaker, but I haven't been able to get it to work either. On Linux hosts you can use the hardware speaker (if you have

Re: [Freedos-user] How to have sound with freedos under virtual box?

Hi Wolf. I think it must be some kind of emulation for MS-DOS/Free DOS games, but virtualbox will detect your inboard soundcard since we no longer use external sound cards althoug i have see some from Creative on stores where in Portugal. The prodominant is external sound cards... I don't use

Hi Joao. The most important is speed for a simulation. Then comes sound in priority, but is important also. What does mean " support only soundblaster"? I know i can configure it under virtualbox, but i have no real soundblaster, thats why i wrote what mainboard i have, with its

Re: [Freedos-user] How to have sound with freedos under virtual box?

You don't. Vbox doesn't have speaker support only soundblaster. For games use Dosbox or it variants. On Sat, Sep 3, 2022 at 1:06 PM wrote: > > I really want to have minimal sound, beeps would be enough for some > software. > > But i tried all settings in virtualbox and get no sound. > > Is it a

[Freedos-user] How to have sound with freedos under virtual box?

I really want to have minimal sound, beeps would be enough for some software. But i tried all settings in virtualbox and get no sound. Is it a correct assumption to configure soundblaster on each (freedos and virtualbox) and you should hear sound? My mainboard is a ASUSZ690M-PLUS D4 and of
