Re: [Freedos-user] Help linking to Borland Turbo C project to external object file ?

Well there already is an archive for our mailing lists on the web :-) http://www.mail-archive.com/freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=freedos-user > Given a history it would be possible given a really good archive search, > quicker answers to well know questions and associated replies.

You can do the same with email, but if I understand your suggestion correctly, then you introduce the problem that comments would live in www space while the original mails live in email space. So I would say I prefer if people just reply to emails at any time ;-). Using interfaces like nabble allows you to reply even to old archived mails even without you ever having received that mail by mail, I believe? > If something happens to the maintainers such as an injury or worse > other could be found to take their places.

Actually we already do use this facility, which is another good reason to believe that people do not actually gain from forums: http://www.freedos.org/ Look at the news items and the "read more" links. Each news item starts a thread in a sourceforge forum: This thread http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=789150 for example discusses "new fat32 undelete". Jim posted a comment three weeks ago, but I only noticed this week, by accident, as the comment did not automatically get to my mailbox, as opposed to what a reply to an email would have done ;-). We also have a Wiki, even two of them, a Sourceforge feature request tracking system, Bugzilla bug mgmt system and a FAQ which would work better if more people would notice when a new question has arrived and would help by answering it :-). In addition, you can meet on our IRC (there even is a Java client if you have no IRC). There are several NNTP newsgroups and you can visit the general DOS web forum of Robert :-). There are also several reference sections like LSM package list (versions, maintainers, URLs...) and SVN source code repository with www interface for easy browsing. As you can see: Information sources and places to share your FreeDOS experience with others abound, all over the net... Happy FreeDOS easter everybody!

Eric, I noticed the remark in the Xen posting, "please do never send files to a mailing list". I think that this implies the need for a hosted discussion group arrangement. That will preserve the history of discussions which I think has benefits for this group. Given a history it would be possible given a really good archive search, quicker answers to well know questions and associated replies. Threads can have comments added at any time, either immediately or even years later. If something happens to the maintainers such as an injury or worse other could be found to take their places. It would allow for a structured organization of question groups. It would not require each list member to maintain the archive of the questions and replies. It would also allow relevant files to be stored within the archive. Does sourceforge.net have this facility or would you have to go elsewhere to get these features? -- John S.

Re: [Freedos-user] [Xen-devel] Unable to boot FreeDOS 1.0
Hi ;-) > > Hi Geraldo, please do never send files to a mailing list. > Btw, why? Because the file will be multiplied: Every reader of the list will get a copy of the file, even when he does not want to open the file. This eats space in all mailboxes and bandwidth for the mail servers. Putting files on the WWW and then only give the URL but not the actual file in the email is better, and it will also make list archives happy. While you can read old mailing list emails on many archive homepages, you cannot typically open files which were sent to the mailing list. I would guess this is to avoid eating space and bandwidth ;-). Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freedos-user] announce: OpenWatcom 1.7a (1.7.1) distributive in .zip archives
Hi! http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Alternative_Open_Watcom_distribution Although there is no more official distribution of OpenWatcom as a collection of .zip archives after OpenWatcom 1.3, you can download OW 1.7a (1.7.1), and previous releases, as multiple zip files from ibiblio. These archives are prepared by Arkady Belousov and placed on ibiblio by Jim Hall. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/c/openwatcom/1.7.1/ Here you will find archives with the same layout as the OW 1.3 distribution, including the files license.txt, readme.txt (short introduction) and descript.ion (archives description file, compatible with FAR Manager, NDOS and 4DOS). Note that the either of the official installers (Windows or OS/2) can be unzipped using standard unzip tools. However, this unofficial distribution allows you to download a subset of the original packages which may be easier for people with limited resources (low disk space or slow network links). Important addition into given alternative distribution is CLIB.7Z archive, which includes sources for RTL (Run Time Library), not included into original binary distribution. These sources are invaluable source of information, which complements RTL documentation and may clarify all dark questions, related to RTL. CLIB.7Z archive packed by portable free archiver 7-Zip [http://www.7-zip.org/], this reduces sources size to 800 kb versus 3.4 Mb of zip archive. How might this distribution be useful? Suppose you only need the DOS host and the DOS target. The only components you need are: 1. License and Descriptions, 3 files/~30 kb LICENSE.TXT README.TXT DESCRIPT.ION 2.

There is also a minimal set (only C, no C++ / help / samples / debugger), which includes sets [2] and [6] above, consisting of 11 files, or ~4.4 Mb. Now compare this with original monolithic distribution size (62 Mb). PS: NASM (Netwide assembler) [http://nasm.sf.net/] development was unfrozen and recently was released NASM 2.02.
