In MS-DOS , EDIT /H means use the maximum possible number of lines 
available for the current display adaptor (43 for EGA, 50 for VGA).

Ah yeah... I've heard of them.  There's actually, I think, a customized 
version of FreeDOS for the PC98 series, called FreeDOS(98).  I've used 
it a little in emulation.

Hi Michael,
Thanks very much for the debugging...
IMHO this is a case of needed bug for bug compatibility :(
I say needed because there are _A_LOT_ of Borland programs around. It 
would not be needed if it happened only in an obscure rarely used program.

I can even argue that FreeDOS is Beta, that is because things may 
change, this is as good an example as anyone can get.

Alain
Problem is that register is part of the kernel version code in DOS-C and 
FreeDOS...

Hello Steve, others,
I'd like some comments on files which should be added, or which are 
outdated, to the ODIN (One Disk INstaller) bootdisk.

Per suggestion of Eric I've uploaded a list of all present files.

and the disk-image if you need to look at the utilities themselves 
(version, size, date, whatever):
http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9-final/addon/fdodin71.img

warning though: I'm using Arkady's (Lucho compiled it) kernel as 
kernel.sys.
Official fat32-enabled kernel is present as kernel35.sys
No big deal, I used to use some forked tools myself.
I think, whatever of base you can cram into 1.44 MB, that's basically 
what I did. ;)

Re: [Freedos-devel] best free C++ compiler

Hi,
After a few years of being idle in the DOS-scene, I am looking to writing
some new apps. I am using Borland's TC 2.01 because that has been released
for free. Here are some questions for you dev's:
1) If I were to write a FreeDOS-targetted application on FreeDOS, which C++
compiler would be the most interesting? I have a copy of TC++ 3.0 lying
around somewhere. Is that one freely available yet?
No, but 1.01 is, which is somewhere between the two.
2) Is anyone using lex/yacc in any project? Did you use it for the
processing of .bat files? If not, then why not? Will lex/yacc work with TC
2.01?
Perhaps, though you might want to look through the remains of GNUish on 
the FreeDOS mirrors for a 16-bit yacc or bison...

[Freedos-devel] Latest results of limited Win3.10 testing under FreeDOS (kernel 2034)

2004-07-04 Thread Steve Nickolas - Using Windoze
My limited testing of Windows 3.10 under FreeDOS ODIN 0.7 has had rather 
impressive results.

Last time I tested Windows 3 on FreeDOS,  version 3.1 wouldn't load 
completely at all, and 3.0 was highly crashprone even with programs like 
 WINFILE.  Now, Windows 3.10 Setup completed flawlessly, and with WIN 
/2, it was possible to start Windows from FreeDOS.  I don't currently 
have any 286-mode compatible apps to test, so I jsut played around with 
the Windows apps.  All ran well.  A shell to the command prompt from 
Windows, however, crashed with an Invalid Opcode while trying to run 
command.com... Exiting from Windows was fine though.  I was pleasantly 
surprised that it worked as well as it did.  (And w00t to QEMU)

Note I was not using the latest kernel, and I was using IBM's himem, not 
FreeDOS's.

Hi!
 Some years ago Bart shows, how to generate binary files (file with any

someone knows how to do this?
Explicitly provide an extension other than .COM for the output file and 
supply the /t switch, I believe.
