Thanks for sharing that one. I've already linked to it on the "Links" page:

https://www.freedos.org/links/


I'll email the site owner and see if they can update their FreeDOS
demo with FreeDOS 1.3. :-)

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS on JavaScript

2022-02-23 Thread Aitor Santamaría 
Hi,

Remember that in the sunday meeting I mentioned there were out there JS
emulators running FreeDOS?

I've found one in my bookmarks. Running FD 1.2, but still nice to link it
to the main FreeDOS page, so that people can even see the OS in action:

JSLinux (bellard.org) 

I'm sure there are many more out there.

Ok, thanks for mentioning that. I can write pages in HTML, but I don't
consider myself an expert in web page design. I think there are a few
possible solutions for this, such as adding a bit of javascript that
forces the browser to finish loading everything before displaying it.
That could fix the "flash" you mentioned.

I'll look into some options. If I can add that to the www.freedos.org
website, I will. Otherwise I'll test some things on the
test.freedos.org after usability testing is done, and apply the fix
after that.

Yes, for plain documentation I don't see a need for "extended ASCII"
above 127. If you're describing how to compile a program, or who
contributed to a program, or where to download a program, or the
license for a program, or whatever .. standard ASCII should be fine.
