Re: [Freedos-devel] re:Don't you think its better to use Msdos file names?
Hi, to answer your question: DOS\HELP - all help files This contains only files which are called project.*, like project or project.cn or project.es or project.htm ... Actually the CURRENT way is even simpler: DOS\HELP\ contains files which are called project. So for example the help file of PG would be in the file DOS\HELP\PG ... DOS\HELP\ also contains a subdirectory HHSTNDRD with HTML help: DOS\HELP\HHSTNDRD\PG.HTM But you do not have to provide pg.htm - this is usually written by the maintainer of HTML Help. Even DOS\HELP\PG is usually put there by the maintainer of the help system. It is often something like the output of PG /? or a copy of PG.MAN ... .. Minor corrections, the html help files are maintained as a set for the BASE files by our help maintainer (Robert) and installed as a set, where the fasthelp files are added to each package (for all sets BASE, UTIL, etc) usually by me when creating the package (which is why it tends to match the program.MAN or program /? output). The fasthelp files are now in the form of HELP\PROGRAM.LANG falling back to HELP\PROGRAM.EN if no translation or language is found. Jeremy --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

.. I keep my binary files inside BIN of PGnnn.ZIP now, it looks like I ought to drop the BIN directory to align with your idea, give me a 'yes' please. Eric. BAHCL Not if you are only doing it for distribution package reasons, otherwise go ahead. While I encourage all maintainers to create packages that separate the files into BIN, DOC, HELP, NLS, etc., if you distribute the program separately from a FreeDOS distribution as well, it is really weird to include the extra PROGRAM name in the zip (e.g. DOC\PG\PG.MAN should just be DOC\PG.MAN and you should do PG.EXE or BIN\PG.EXE as you prefer). Also, the discussion regarding BIN is not yet settled. Jeremy --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for you explanation. Looks like DOSEMU's setting, I'll take your suggestion. BIN\PG.EXE DOC\PG\PG.MAN regards, BAHCL --- Kenneth J.

Re: [Freedos-devel] re:Don't you think its better to use Msdos file names?
Hi Eric, Thanks for your explanation! And I should have known better. [This is a reply to the question by BAHCL: What if DOS\HELP ends up to contain several files which are all called readme? Answer: This does not happen. PG would only be allowed to have files DOS\HELP\PG and DOS\HELP\HHSTNDRD\PG.HTM in the help directory, the rest of the readme / documentation would be in DOS\DOC\PG\ ...] PS: The ZIP would NOT contain a DOS directory. You first CD to \DOS and then unzip THERE. So the ZIP contains for example a DOC\PG\ directory!
