G'day,
98-SE? I was seeing the screenshots and the setup application is
identical to the MS-DOS 6.22!
You know hex editors? ;-)
No need, the source for MS-DOS 6.(something) was leaked/stolen quite
some time ago, so one could probably compile a modified setup
application from the source :) Of course it would not be wise for
anyone who wants to contribute to FreeDOS to look at that source!
Also, a thought on the topic of Windows 3.1 drivers: what is the
feasability of reverse-engineering an existing video driver to work
out what the interface is? I guess the interface would be simple, at
least relative to Windows XP :) I guess it may still be quite hard.
Of course this requires the developer to live in a country where
reverse engineering is allowed. At least this is one of those cases -
for the purposes of making interoperable software - that laws often
permit.
Finally, is anyone else concerned about links to illegally-copied
software being posted on this mailing list? Perhaps it is bad for
FreeDOS's reputation? Perhaps we could get in trouble with the
SourceForge folks? Sorry if I am speculating about things that are
none of my business! I just note that in some countries and with some
service providers/sites you can get in trouble just for posting links
to things.
Regards,
David
