Kind Regards and Best wishes, Geraldo Well, at least it will run in Redhat 6.2 which can be booted via loadlin. I think the developers are moving away from gtk. Isn't any app that uses a dos extender a protected mode app? I would like to see it do frames and work with my Horde framework seamlessly, but it impresses me that it runs smoothly at least on my old DX2-66 system.

A free software project can only do so much and is only as good of those that participate in the process of improvement. That said, I think download tips should be on http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ for new users that have trouble downloading it. --chris http://nxdos.sourceforge.net/ - Original Message From: George Willard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Sunday, July 8, 2007 12:58:50 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] Can't even get started! Gents, I spent the day trying to figure out how to make FreeDos work on my Windows XP computer. NO luck. I could not even figure out how to download the fdfullcd.iso file. When I clicked on it, it just showed a bunch of text and high/low bit characters. Why put so much effort into a project that the regular person can't make work? George This is why I ordered my copy from http://linuxcdmall.com/.

Re: [Freedos-user] Reading PDF under DOS
Thanks! I'm mirroring a copy of this to ibiblio under util/file. -jh On 7/8/07, Mateusz Viste [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I was searching for a while a way to display PDF files under FreeDOS. I tried Acroread for DOS, but it's not supporting newer PDF files. I found that GhostScript can display PS file, and a DOS port of Xpdf can convert PDF to PS. Finally, I learned about PSVIEW - a project which is expected to combine GS + PDFTOPS + LXPIC. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it working. That's why I made DOSPDF. DOSPDF is just a batch file which calls GhostScript, PDFTOPS (from the Xpdf package) and LxPic to display PDF files in DOS. I made it because Acrobat Reader for DOS can't read the newer PDF format. IMPORTANT: DOSPDF MUST BE UNZIPPED IN THE C:\DOSPDF DIRECTORY. Otherwise it will not work (at least until you modify the DOSPDF.BAT file). The package contains the following pieces of free software: Aladdin GhostScript v5.10 [GPL] PDFTOPS v3.02 (from Xpdf) [GPL] LxPic v7.3 [Freeware] I hope DOSPDF will be usefull to anyone! http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/dos/dospdf.zip Regards, Mateusz Viste - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
