[Freedos-devel] MEM will miss my deadline
Hi all, Sorry, some bad news. I will not be able to get all the changes to MEM done before I lose Internet access. I will be offline for about 3 weeks starting at the end of this week. I will make a partly messy snapshot of the sources available before I go, but the key issue of 8086/80286 support will not be addressed yet as I just haven't had time. The documentation will be lacking too. I'll check the changes into CVS. If nobody objects I might call this another alpha version for now. In my absence others can feel free to make changes, and the translators can start to translate, although I may not have time to even bring the non-EN NLS files up-to-date, i.e. add the English strings that need to be translated, although hopefully I will because I imagine it would be painful if I didn't do that for you all. I'm hoping that after the move I should be able to spend more time on MEM, especially if I can't find a job :) Regards, David --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

[Freedos-devel] FreeBack - backup tool
HiI want to join the programming FreeDOS programming team, if I can help with something... I am currently working on a backup program for MS-DOS compatible systems, in QBasic (yes, I know it's bad, but I hate to learn new languages, such as C). So, I wondered if you would have any use for that in FreeDOS? Of course, if there are nobody working on it now. If I am going to write it for FreeDOS - are there anything I should look out for - something that don't work in FreeDOS as in MS-DOS, etc.)?(sorry for my bad english - I'm norwegian ...)Johan

Johan There's always things to do around here. Even if you have no desire to learn C, you can translate many programs' messages into Norwegian or fix existing broken translations (FreeDOS Edlin has a broken Norwegian translation, which was generated mechanically via computer. The files are msgs-no.h and kitten/edlin.no. Read them, laugh at the quite possibly horrendous Norwegian, and please send me a fixed translation.). Don't worry about your English. We can tolerate bad English from non-native speakers around here, as long as they get their points across. As far as a backup program is concerned, I think somebody's working on one, I just don't know who. Gregory Pietsch --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

compatible systems, in QBasic (yes, I know it's bad, but I hate to learn new languages, such as C). So, I wondered if you would have any use for that in I would really recommend learning C because of it's usefulness and portability, but if you inist on BASIC then it would be great if the code was also compatible with FreeBASIC (freebasic.net) and possibly BwBASIC. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

Hi Johan, Ralf Quint was writing such a tool (BACKUP/RESTORE replacement), but there hasn't been many news from him lately here, perhaps you can say something about this, Ralf?
