[Freedos-devel] NewDOS source code has been published!

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 06:39:12 -0800

Hi Jim,
 
I forgot to mention that there is another great new thing: NewDOS and its source code is free since 2024-02-06!
NewDOS itself is freeware since 2018.
 
 
NewDOS from André Olejko is no complete OS but a collection of more than 60 DOS commands and 3 games!
 
 
There is a free assembler asm86 available from André Olejko, but the source code has not been published till now.
I am not sure if he will publish it at all.
 
 
And now the bad news:
NewDOS and the assembler are in GERMAN only. It should be possible to translate it to english, but this will be a lot of work.
 
André informed me that he is NOT willing to give any feedback or to answer questions about his work.
He thinks that it is very good to keep his work alive for the future, but he does no longer program.
So PLEASE DO NOT SEND MAILS ETC to him.
 
@Jim: Would it be possible to keep a copy ad ibiblio or anywhere else?
 
THX.
 
Willi

Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] Xcopy 1.5
Answering my own question on this:
 
I don't know that anyone was aware of an updated version of Xcopy (1.5). So this was just missed. 
 
I think we should include Xcopy 1.5 in the next test release, T2403.
 
 
*We're all volunteers, if you see a new version of a program and no one is talking about it, share that news on the email list.

I noticed over on the BTTR forum, Fritz asked this question about Xcopy 1.5. But freedos-devel is really the best place to discuss FreeDOS distribution topics, so I wanted to start a thread here to make sure the question was asked in the right place:
 
Fritz asked:

version 1.5
-----------
- improved Open Watcom support (utilizes pieces from TCC2WAT), shared.inc


In xcopy.txt you can read:

Compiling the source code
-------------------------
Compiling the source code is possible with the following compilers:
- Borland C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
- Borland Turbo C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
Version 1.2 and newer can also be compiled with the now freeware
- Borland Turbo C 2.01 compiler :-)
Version 1.5 and newer
- Open Watcom C/C++ 1.9/2.0pre (includes portions of tcc2wat)

So my question: Is it useful to implement version 1.5 into the future FDT24xx versions?
