[Freedos-user] GUI's for dos II
Mateusz, I put it on my little freebie site: www.dosoid.bravehost.com. Unfortunately, the free version does not allow upload of any folders, let alone zips; for this reason, the one and only folder required, hdr, must be created by the user. The good news is that it contains two files, one an empty textfile and the other a simple little bat; so simple, in fact, the instruction for it is contained in a reminder on the single webpage!!. Other than that, the documentation, as well as the source code is in the file: 'x.txt', and although an executable is supplied, you can recompile it out-of-the-box using DJGPP; I strongly suggest using 'gcc' rather than 'g++'. I will try to nest multiple screens, but want to keep the level of such to a minimum(closer to dos). This is a hobby for me, and so it took two months instead of two weeks!. Finally, I am thinking of a linux version, which for the most part is doable, except for the interupts(!), which seem to be required(as in dos) for the mouse event handler. Linux is so seemingly mysterious to me, that I don't even know if such is built into the linux kernel. The search for how-to-do's on linux interrupts is either vague or expert-textpert over the head. Whatever. Richard Klein wb2...@gmail.com. By the way, yahoo mail seems to accept attachments with exe's no sweat; but if you send it to a gmail account, it gets rejected at that end; hot stuff, when you remember that google just got hacked big time in China!. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[Freedos-user] GUI III.
Phooey, I forgot to mention that to use hobo, you must have a low level mouse driver installed, the best of which is cutemouse. Some times it is default (freedos,boxdos), sometimes, notably using the dos on a bootdisk, you must remember to manually exe the mouse driver.

Re: [Freedos-user] GUI's for dos II
Create a zip file and rename it, that should allow you to put them all in a single file. i.e.hobo.zip.remove or hobo.change :) On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 2:49 PM, kurt godel wb2...@gmail.com wrote: Mateusz, I put it on my little freebie site: www.dosoid.bravehost.com.

[Freedos-user] Who needs WIndows?
I have been interested in ReactOS, but as of today I gt my forum posting priviledges revoked for merely recommending that open source compilers and build tools be used instead of MSVC and the Windows SDK. The ReactOS community seems to be extremely abusive, so I no longer link to the ReactOS home page from my web site. I hope the freedos community never gets to be like the ReactOS community. Freedos has almost duplicated the functionality of MS-DOS and now there is the possibility of doing creative things. I hope freedos 1.1 comes together soon. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Freedos-user] Who needs WIndows?
Who needs WIndaube? I don't :-D I have been interested in ReactOS, but as of today I gt my forum posting priviledges revoked http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2t=8005start=45 nute ??? We've had to deal with plenty of bugs in GCC over the years that we wouldn't have had to deal with if we had used MSVC from the start. This project has even filed several bug reports with GCC over the years, and some of them have been marked as 'won't fix' The magic POWER of developers to WON'T FIX all the BUG's :-D because the GCC devs either didn't think Windows was important enough to deal with such subtle issues or they didn't understand the mechanics behind the Windows specific issue. Yeah ... for merely recommending that open source compilers and build tools be used instead of MSVC and the Windows SDK. Good, but how is this related to FreeDOS ? The ReactOS community seems to be extremely abusive, so I no longer link to the ReactOS home page from my web site. Good, but where can I find your site at all ??? I hope the freedos community never gets to be like the ReactOS community. I hope FreeDOS will stay DOS. there is the possibility of doing creative things. I hope freedos 1.1 comes together soon. Agree. Useful creative things, not cloning/supporting Windaube-Whatever-WtF again ;-) PS: Seeing MinGW inferior to VCC is sad but pointless to discuss here. -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I used to go by the name nute on the ReactOS forums.

Well, I don't see anyone in the Freedos community insisting that closed source compilers be used and I certainly don't see anyone getting banned for suggesting the use of open source compiler tools, thank goodness.

Did you mean MSVC? I don't trust Microsoft and if the GCC folks don't feel like producing a Windows compatible compiler there must be a reason. I haven't used mingw enough to know what the problems are. In the dos world there is DJGPP. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
