Re: [Freedos-devel] Re:Eric's idea to put PG binaries online
Hello maintainer, PS: I would like to have some PG binaries online, too. If nobody else wants to provide some, I could do so, but I am not sure if BAHCL is okay with this!? mf those PG binaries will be covered by the GNU GPL mf version 2, and will have a link to the PG website. there's nothing in the GPL that requires a link to your website. If for some idiotic reasons you don't provide a binary, you have to live with some other people, distibuting the binaries, and not pointing to you (as long as they give you a chance to get the source as well) tom --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Freedos-devel] Please mirror the ODIN.720 image - to be removed
Hello, Let me remind that the first 720 KB ODIN image I uploaded at http://linux.tu-varna.acad.bg/~lig/freedos/ODIN.720 wouldn't work on 8086/88 processors but required at least a NEC V20 or 80186/188 because I forgot the --8086 UPX option when compressing the files there. So I re-created it, this time using the --8086 UPX option, re-uploaded it at the same place and it then has proven to work for an 80C88 user. Steve, please mirror this image, because in a couple of days I'm going to remove it from the server to free some room for the beginning semester in the university. This removal will be made silently and without any further notice. Sorry and thanks for understanding! Lucho --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Freedos-devel] re: Last Hello!
Hi all, if you have been wondering why and why curses us: It is Sandul Yura who has offered us 6 FreePascal and 25 Q-Basic programs on first of November. We had the problem that there is no Q-Basic for FreeDOS but I do not remember what was wrong with the Pascal programs. Programs were: ANSI sequences editor and viewer, Basic interpreter, com - exe converter, file splitter, com to bat/bas (?), crc32, des, dialog system, text editor, data / hex file converter, line break normalizer, phone book, picture editor, utility (all-in-one calculator, calendar, screen saver, ukrainian/russian stuff), square root demo, uuencode/uudecode, a Basic interpreter written in Pascal, FreePascal text editor (32bit). And finally in C: exe - com converter, text viewer with ANSI interpreter, color editor, a file/fcb library, a sketch of a C compiler. I do not know why none of them made it into the FreeDOS distro. I think the Basic interpreter written in Pascal and the text editors and com - exe are interesting, and for those who do have a good Basic interpreter (do not know how good the ones by Sandul are) the pile of other Basic things is worth looking at. Nothing for the BASE category but things for the EDITOR and TOOLS and COMPILERS category. Maybe Sandul only checked beta9rc4 which only contains BASE packages. ... Go all you to the devil mothers, and wake for ever accursed that you have vote against including my programs in FreeDOS new distribution program! By the way: I do not remember a voting process but even then: Democracy can suck if people vote against you. Shit happens. But who knows, maybe people do vote for some of your programs now and just overlooked them completely in 2003. Not that your politeness would improve your software's popularity, though.

[Freedos-devel] PG 1.08 binary online
Hi, I re-packaged PG 1.08 in FreeDOS package style (standard directory tree) and added a binary. Please check my changes to PG.MAK and PG.H to make this possible. In particular, I removed the pathspec for the plugin and manpage directories. Bad thing, because functions will just fail SILENTLY if plugins and/or pg.man are not found! I recommend that PG 1.09 should assume that the plugins are in PATH and that the pg.man file is in the same directory as the pg,exe binary - both of those can be detected at run-time dynamically. Note that some functions like hex view are case sensitive (you press H, not h). My current solution is just to comment out the pathspecs, so plugins and help work only if they are in the current directory when you run PG! Eric. http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/ pg108x.zip PS: I used UPX --8086 to shrink the binary from 19k to 12k (not the plugins, they are 1k anyway... could be made PART of the binary, less files!) --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Or passed through the United Nations Security Council? ;-) Just joking, of course - please don't take the above sentences seriously! :-) BTW, email written offer is fine. But including the source with the binaries would be preferable. Of course, and even better - the binaries with the source! ;-) Perhaps BAHCL would accept the binaries, and post them on his site? Indeed, I can't understand why he doesn't want to include binaries? Well, I've sometimes done that in the past, too, so I can't be too critical of BAHCL. Binaries aren't strictly required by the GNU GPL, and if web space is a problem, I can understand not including them. -jh -- _ This email message has been automatically encrypted using ROT-26. --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Freedos-devel] Microsoft source code
I hope I don't start a flame war on this. Thought I'd fwd this note that I found on the Groklaw site, usually a good resource for legal issues dealing with Free and Open Source Software. You've probably all seen by now that (part of) the source code to Microsoft's WindowsNT and Windows2000 has been leaked. If you do a P2P search, you can probably find it. However, it would be a good idea if you contribute to FreeDOS to *not* look at the Windows source code, or even download it. The note from Groklaw: http://www.groklaw.net/ Original Article:You probably heard that Slashdot has a story that there may have been a massive leak of code from Windows 2000 and NT. Microsoft denies it. Groklaw normally doesn't report rumors, but in this case, it seems appropriate to say something early. If there is such a leak, I hope nobody looks at this code. Not one peek. Here's why, taken from Franklin Pierce's Copyright for Computer Authors by Thomas G. Field, Jr. on avoiding copyright infringement: As discussed earlier, copyright gives owners the exclusive right, for example, to reproduce protected subject matter (such things as ideas and facts being excluded). Sometimes a question arises as to whether a second, similar work was copied or independently created. If the person creating a second work had access to the original work and the works are virtually identical, copying is likely to be presumed even if the chance of access is remote. Anyone looking at this code could bring to an end any opportunity to contribute to FOSS [Free and Open Source Software -jh] software in the future. We've actually addressed this issue before. Some years ago, the source code to MS-DOS was leaked. For a while, I would get about an email a week from people (who probably thought they were being helpful) asking if I wanted access to the Microsoft code. I have always said no, because having access to the MS-DOS source code could compromise my work in FreeDOS. We have a FAQ about the topic, here: http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/faq/cgi-bin/viewfaq.cgi?faq=General_Information/12 This applies equally well to the Windows source code. Don't look.
