Re: [Freedos-user] Catch-all Repository for legacy DOS
Alex: I wonder if it would really all that much of a risk if we post links of copyrighted programs (which are already hosted on other websites/FTP servers). Direct links are a No-No. They tend to die rather quickly, as people shift stuff around on their hard disks, for example. Also, it could be argued that FreeDOS was intentionally promoting piracy by such links. Better off to just review the software, and at the bottom of the webpage have a note saying Abandonware games may be found at the following websites Applications and utilities are at . FreeDOS makes no warranty or guarantee that ... Rugxulo: What was DOS most famous for? In office software: Lotus 1-2-3 *and clones), DBase 3 and 3.5, Paradox, QuattroPro, Javelin, MS Project In word processing: Brief, Wordperfect, MS Word, Wordstar, XyWrite, NotaBene, PC Outline In graphics: AutoCad, Harvard Graphics, Corel Draw, PhotoShop In mathematics: MathCad, Derive, TKSolver In programing: MASM, QBASIC, MS C, Turbo C, Lahey Fortran, Scheme, Turbo Pascal, Watcom C, DJGPP In utilities: Norton, PC Tools, GEM, DesqView, X-Tree, FastBack This is far from complete! And most DOS users have a dozen or so utilities to which they've become accustomed to, almost as natural as breathing -- in my case, ACD, CED, Flopper, Fog, List, MoSlo, Nansi, PushD, Wc, Zap. It actually strikes me listings and reviews of utilities would be far more enertaining than comparable descriptions of major applications. -- Better than sec?

It's very simple and quite powerful at the same time. An excellent language indeed. But it's specifically intended for embedding within other programs as a script language. (There are an assortment of text editors (like SciTE) that embed Lua in that fashion. You don't write stand-alone apps in it. True, Lua is optimized for being embedded, but you can also write stand-alone applications. There are lots of extension modules that give you lots of functionality for everything. -- Better than sec?

[Freedos-user] FUSE for FreeDOS

Re: [Freedos-user] FUSE for FreeDOS
Hi, AFAIK, there is no fuse for freedos i don't thing its possible to implement it not only because of linux-freedos differences but also many other low level details Others may enlighten the problems/implications of this...

Re: [Freedos-user] FUSE for FreeDOS
Hi! AFAIK, there is no fuse for freedos You probably mean user space filesystem drivers... DOS has no user/admin distinction anyway, and you can DEVLOAD drivers on the fly. Some are also made to be unloadable. There are USB drivers and some drivers for other filesystems, e.g. NTFS or EXT2, but for example SMB drivers are not great - there is the totally outdated MSCLIENT (free but eats a lot of RAM) and there is a port of Samba smbclient but that does not make a drive letter, it feels a bit like an interactive text oriented FTP client.

Thanks for the very helpful answer, Eric. Would it be possible to make a generic DEVLOAD driver, for FreeDOS, based on the FUSE concept, with the ability to use the FUSE modules from Linux? -- Better than sec?

Re: [Freedos-user] Catch-all Repository for legacy DOS software
i was thinking along the lines of straight logical thinking, no sector/segment stuff, just a straight address bus, straight data bus and straight memory (and other) bus(es). and, of course, all this needs to run at an extremely high speed, and also operate synchronously at that same very, very high speed. that way there would be no bottlenecks to reduce the speed, with reed-solomon error correction in real time, too! (and the machines stackable for transputing.) (as close to a turing machine as *really* possible, incl. no concessions to cost control etc. etc. etc.) as far as i can see no one is really doing this commercially. aren't economics wonderful? no! . eufdp...@yahoo.com eufdp...@yahoo.com eufdp...@yahoo.com eufdp...@yahoo.com eufdp...@yahoo.com .. --- On Mon, 4/2/12, Marco Achury marcoach...@gmail.com wrote: From: Marco Achury marcoach...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Catch-all Repository for legacy DOS software To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Monday, April 2, 2012, 6:58 PM El 02/04/2012 03:35 p.m., dmccunney escribió: On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 2:34 PM, Mark Brown eufdp...@yahoo.com wrote: as usual, we all need more and better freeware, and like the gnu flag says, free thinking... maybe someday someone will invent an operating system that promotes user programming instead of suppresses it. blink Linux does.

I'm pretty sure it was agreed upon that it doesn't technically freeze, it just takes a (relatively) long time at installing FreeCom, for whatever reason.
