Eric shared his interesting tabs/websites about FreeDOS, and I wanted to share some recent articles I've written about FreeDOS. I wrote these for a friend's blog:
A gentle introduction to FreeDOS commands https://www.both.org/?p=14054 Try the FED editor on FreeDOS https://www.both.org/?p=14056 How FreeDOS got started https://www.both.org/?p=14240 *This ran on June 29 as the "anniversary" story A look back: FreeDOS Aloha 5 https://www.both.org/?p=14364 *I installed Alpha 5 and showed what was in it Hands-on with FreeDOS Beta 1 https://www.both.org/?p=14397 *I installed Beta 1, including the kernel. Interesting look back to see how far we've come! Yes, FreeDOS runs Windows 3.11 https://www.both.org/?p=14420 *Cool demo of running Windows on the latest FreeDOS kernel, but I can't save files Transfer files to FreeDOS the easy way https://www.both.org/?p=14441 *One method that I use to get files into/out of my FreeDOS qemu instance (a virtual floppy solves almost all of my use cases) *Also, someone on the FreeDOS Facebook group has been sharing their progress in learning about FORTRAN 77 using the Open Watcom FORTRAN compiler on FreeDOS. To encourage them, I wrote some sample FORTRAN programs (or related tools) which I then turned into articles: * Expand tabs in FORTRAN programs https://www.both.org/?p=14224 *C program that expands a leading tab to 6 spaces, other tabs to 1 space Find invalid characters in FORTRAN programs https://www.both.org/?p=14329 *C program to uppercase a source file, and warn if any characters aren't in the FORTRAN character set Using LibreOffice to plot x,y data https://www.both.org/?p=14462 *I wrote a FORTRAN program that emitted x,y data for the Mandelbrot Set, which I then plotted using As Easy As on FreeDOS. (I shared a screenshot on the Facebook group.) But my friend asked me to make the article about "open source" somehow so I used LibreOffice instead. But this started out as a FreeDOS/FORTRAN article. *Coming soon, look for a few more FreeDOS & FORTRAN articles, including one that uses Open Watcom FORTRAN in graphics mode to draw the Mandelbrot Set. * And I wrote this op-ed for All Things Open, about how the age verification law applies to Linux, BSD, and FreeDOS: https://allthingsopen.org/articles/age-verification-law-open-source-ab-1043 *They're making some changes to that California law that I hope will be an improvement for open source (it's still not great, but it's better)
