Re: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS?
I don't mind at all. A few contributions through this list are the least I can do for the free use of a great operating system like FreeDOS. --John Hupp - Original Message - From: Jim Hall To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 12:42 PM Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS?

Hi John, Eric gathered up all your screenshots, and emailed them to me, asking that I post them somewhere on the web site. Actually, it's not a bad idea. I hope you don't mind, but I've posted them at http://www.freedos.org/news/screenshots/ Technically, SourceForge REALLY REALLY discourages posting screenshots in the web content area for project websites, as they tend to be abused. So, I'll probably automatically & silently remove these from the web site after a few months. In the meantime, these are good to share with people for some good PR for what you can run (graphically) on FreeDOS. -jh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS?
Hi Tom, as written on the auction page, the games are all freeware or UNregistered shareware. So, as usual with shareware, it is okay to copy them but if you continue to use them, you will have to register yourself. John does not have to do this for the one who buys the PC. I myself only register shareware titles when I want the extra levels. While having only the 5 demo/unregistered version levels of some Jump and Run game is not much, it is enough when you have 5 different games each with 5 demo levels :-).

My interest to date in FreeDOS has been as part of a software bundle that I can put on older computers without Windows licenses (and sell them off on eBay). eBay still has the last auction I did on its servers at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=24916192 I include lots of screen shots, mostly of games. - Original Message - From: Eric Auer To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 7:47 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS? Hi all, now that FreeDOS 1.0 is out, people show up and want to write fancy articles about it, sometimes with pics or even (podcasts...) with filmed material... The problem is: DOS does not look fancy, it just IS fancy :-). So... What could our PR department use for the fancy looks? Some first ideas and suggestions: OpenGEM, MPXPlay, HTMLHELP, DEFRAG, EDIT, Arachne? What else could be used? Got some nice screenshots like the BootCamp imac one? ;-) http://www.freedos.org/news/imac/ Unforgettable game titles are also okay, as long as it is a game which is freeware or shareware. Only in exceptional cases, abandonware would be okay as well. In a related question, what does look fancy about DOS development? Maybe the more interactive parts of our WWW stuff? SF CVS viewer, SF request tracker, Bugzilla, Wiki, FAQ, LSM / software list...?

Hi. Definitely OpenGEM and MPXPlay; if Ozone is stable then that too.
