Hi Ladislav, > Japheth mentioned this page in DR-DOS discussion. Is there some > interresting for FreeDOS too? http://www.deskwork.de/INFOS/DOS.HTM
Deskwork is a shareware GUI in StarTrek NextGeneration design. It can work both in text mode and graphics mode, and it can invoke Win3 / WfW3.11 apps, DOS apps and DW specific apps. The main criticism about FreeDOS is that we only have experimental Win3/WfW3 32-bit-mode and 386-enh-mode support. This is why the DOS.HTM page recommends to use MS DOS or DR DOS. However, it also points to the DW FORUM, mentioning that DW users there also used DW with FreeDOS and in Dosbox / Bochs / VirtualPC :-). There is also a collection of DW DOS apps, most of them quite streamlined to have only the options which are "modern" and "frequently used", also optimized for 386+/VGA hardware and often only available in German. They are quite small in disk size... :-). Another good part of DOS.HTM are the hints how to edit your Windows3 configuration to make Windows3 work on modern hardware, for example on computers with more than 256 MB RAM or more than 8 GB harddisk. Eric PS: Note that WfW 3.11 always uses 32bit mode unless you start it in limited safe / no vxd driver mode... Windows 3.0/3.1 standard mode works fine in FreeDOS, though.
