MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LIST Hi! If you are a new reader of freedos-devel (or the other FreeDOS lists) then, welcome! If you have already been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you probably are familiar with its content anyway. We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS Mailing list: 1. Please don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what USENET usually is. 2. Don't post off-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a private email. It would also be nice to send only plain text email messages, rather than messages formatted in html or MIME encapsulation. This makes it easier for everyone to read your posts. Above all, html files are real killers for those who read with speech. Also provide a bit of context for your reply. Don't be afraid to cite the text or conversation you are replying to. At the same time, you should be careful not to cite the whole conversation - just the relavent bits. The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is a popular system, and there is plenty of hardware out there that supports DOS. The official home of the FreeDOS Project is: http://www.freedos.org Visit the FreeDOS Documentation Project (FD-DOC) at fd-doc.sourceforge.net to learn how to use FreeDOS. Would you like to contribute to the FreeDOS Project? Jim Hall has started a Contribution HOWTO, as a place to start. Look for it at the FD-DOC web site. Report problems to the bug database at http://www.freedos.org/bugs. Many programs have already been written for the FreeDOS Project. You can see which ones by looking at the Maintainers List, which is at http://www.freedos.org/freedos/software. The Base list shows the FreeDOS programs that reproduce the functionality of MS-DOS. Yes, some still need to be written. If you would like to find some of the other web sites that apply to FreeDOS, you may want to check out the FreeDOS web ring at http://www.freedos.org/freedos/webring. Thanks for taking an interest in FreeDOS! ------------------------------------------------------------------- -jh ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
