Hello Francis, >> I had high hopes for the Seal Project (a visual add on for FreeDos) > >Why dos if there is linux&co?
I know DOS and am used to it. Linux is different and I am not used to it. If I learn Linux will I have to learn new stuff for every distro? m m m . . . No real reason for SEAL >Perhaps because of the pc resources? >There is 98lite http://www.litepc.com/98lite.html >but perhaps even that is to heavy... Yes this is a good idea in theory - probably working very well on a clean install It lost me data in the past (OK I did not exactly install as I should have done . . . - it was my fault I think - LOL ) >For diehards and 286's that should have died there is ELKS >http://elks.sourceforge.net/ Interesting . . . and incomplete - sort of working Do you think this is the best/easisest of the single disk type of Linuxes? >If you really want dos why Seal if there is Win3.11 (calmira.de delicious)? >Perhaps because of Microsoft Moloch? That is a good question. I suppose the answer is one of development potential as opposed to abandonment. Win 3.11 was very good. I think I might miss some of the software that does not run on it and I might not have graphic drivers etc (or be inclined to search for them) Win 3.11 is dead because MS do not support it - in fact it was excellent and just when MS had a working system - they abaondoned it for Win 95 (which did not work perfectly) - but when I had both on my system I found even with its limitations I was spending my time in Win 95 >There is Breadbox Ensemble http://www.breadbox.com/ akaGEOS. >Not free as in beer. I remember when I downloaded this I thought it was excellent. Shame it costs - but wonderful. Thanks for the reminder. :-) I think this is practically unknown (never heard of it when I was in education) but deserves recognition - seems very stable. >Or just run the gui over the network? http://toastytech.com/guis/dvx2.html Very interesting link for me - as I went into the other GUI's - many thanks :-) >Otherwise don't use gui in dos and just desqview (abandonware?) for >multitasking: >http://www.chsoft.com/dv.html Caused nothing but problems when I used it before - maybe this version works - dunno . . . >> What else you up to Francis? > >looking into (g)awk as an sql replacement for simple queries. > >Francis :-) good luck with that This for Linux and Windows - though in Beta might interst as a Trillian + replacement . . . http://www.qnext.com/download.html I have not tried it yet . . . :-) Lobster ------------------------ Yahoo!
