We already know this, although depending on implementation, the details can be confusing. > b) this list is intended to discuss FreeDOS developer related issues.

Don't act so innocent, you were the one who once told somebody around here to "just use Linux!" :-P Java, not much. There are some old third-party kludges that can (barely) work in DOS, but it's nothing to rely upon. Admittedly, Java is not currently a first-class citizen for DOS. So that's probably "mostly" off-topic. I'm not aware of any (working) Javascript support in any DOS web browsers (e.g. recent Links 2.x builds). http://www.freedos.org/software/?cat=devel "DEVEL" shows nothing related to Java or Javascript. It does not mean that nothing exists, but nothing is mainstream enough for our limited uses. I guess you expect us to only mention here (freedos-devel) actual code and actively maintained projects? So all mentions of general portability and computing don't count? How do you expect anyone to port anything if they can't even talk about it? > c) there are MANY other mailing list to post you general feelings > about java, programming, and the kitchen sink. not his one please. You really should directly cite the mailing list rules if you're going to be so stern about it. http://www.freedos.org/lists/remind.txt (don't swear, keep on-topic, no flame wars) Do I have to go back through all my posts and fill in the blanks for you? This was always related to FreeDOS ports behind the scenes, even if I don't personally have anything huge in the works. Sure, I mentioned other stuff too, but overall at least some cool things work for DOS, even if only by accident! ;-) (BTW, I would've taken you more seriously if you didn't re-quote my entire post, as well as 2x the obligatory Java ad from SourceForge). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
