Actually, the packet reloader script should *not* be in dillo.bat, since it would 0ccur every time the browser was reopened; the packet reloader should be invoked in a bat which opens xfdos.

TOTALCOMMANDER has a such HTML viewer One such converter is HTMSTRIP by Bruce Guthrie, and it is very good. http://users.erols.com/waynesof/HTMS0208.ZIP From the docs: The HTMSTRIP.EXE program attempts to read HTML pages, remove the HTML coding, and write the file out as something more useful. Features of this program: * Ideal way to prep HTML documents for later retransmission via e-mail (which doesn't support the fonts, pictures, etc). Beats out Netscape's Save As Text option hands down. * Can be run across an entire subdirectory (for example, your entire cache subdirectory), and will only process the HTML documents that it finds. (There are some options on this.) * Removes all embedded HTML commands. * Recodes the standard HTML entity references (so copy; becomes (c)). The actual replacements are coded in a user-modifiable lookup file. * Handles standard indent, heading, selection groups, menus, tables, etc. * Reflows all text as appropriate. * Can provide character-translation table to filter out characters that only work under Windows. * Can indicate bolding, underlining, etc with user-specified characters. * Optionally, will replace Link, Image, and Input references with user-definable text representations. * Optionally, alerts you to possible errors in the HTML code itself. * Supports ISO 8859/1 8-bit single-byte (Windows), 7-bit DOS ASCII, and 8-bit DOS ASCII character sets. * Optionally creates a logfile of file activity.

Re: [Freedos-user] Terminus font (8x16 normal)
Hi again, On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 5:59 PM, Rugxulo rugx...@gmail.com wrote: http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/ http://czyborra.com/unifont/ So I uploaded this (terminus.f16, terminus.asm, ofl.txt open font license 1.1) to iBiblio for us. http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/fonts/ I am not totally sure what font sizes GNUchcp supports. It seems to resize my screen [from 80x43] to what the BIOS calls 80x21. Not sure of the details, but starting in 80x50 before running gnuchcp will load the font into what is being identified as 80x25. (Some text editors are quite picky about what resolutions they support.) P.S. Halfway out of rage at inane copyright laws and the frustration they cause (even for dumb things like bitmap fonts), the other day I did use the old freeware DOS editor 2L8 (aka, Fonte) to create my own font. For laughs, I named it legalese.f16. I also rewrote the gnuchcp.pas program into pure assembly (esp. since TP isn't redistributable). So it went from 3904 bytes to only 134. For now, I'm not uploading these because I doubt anyone cares (i.e. terminus looks more professional), but feel free to ask I ended up finishing this, though its .COM is now 333 bytes (still plenty small enough, fits in a single floppy cluster!). The original source was not complicated (56 lines = 890 chars, basically just called two BIOS funcs). I added a help screen and some options (-a, -e) to emulate the previous two versions of GNUCHCP (found in LOADFONT and Freemacs MULE, respectively). v1 only loaded the first 127 chars, preserving any existing extended ASCII already loaded. v2 only loaded FFE binary output files, which contain only the upper 128 chars! v3 here loads all 256 chars by default (so with my Terminus conversion you get 7-bit ASCII as well as full Latin 1). It's now uploaded (with NASM source, plain text manual, legalese.f16, int 10h 11xxh API reference) to the above-mentioned /fonts/ subdir on iBiblio. This was not super important nor high priority, but maybe it's slightly better overall. -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.

[Freedos-user] Newbie - Net Use
Hello all, I'm really new in FreeDOS but I am also old enough to have started working on MS-DOS 2.1 The thing is I want to run my old Turbo Pascal programs. So I configured a VirtualBox FreeDOS virtual Machine (my PC has Ubuntu 12) ...and now I'm stucked on copy the Turbo Pascal installer on the FreeDOS VM. VirtualBox says I need to do a NET USE to configure the shared folders. I can do that, but apparently FreeDOS does not recognize NET USE, so I'm here asking if FreeDOS has another way to do a NET USE.

Re: [Freedos-user] Newbie - Net Use
Hi, AFAIK there is a DOS microsoft client somewhere that allows smb mounts... But, honestly, I wouldn't even care about using it. If I remember well, it was a real memory hog. Using a standard packet driver with classic tools like wget or scp will be much easier (but it implies that you'd have to setup a small http or ftp or ssh server on your host machine). Since you are starting the FreeDOS adventure, I'd recommend going the dumb way for now - create an ISO CDROM image with whatever files you need in your VM, and mount it in VBox as a CD drive. Then, if after some time you still feel adventurous enough, start playing with networking ;) cheers, Mateusz On 06/04/2013 05:53 PM, Ezequiel Montoya wrote: Hello all, I'm really new in FreeDOS but I am also old enough to have started working on MS-DOS 2.1 The thing is I want to run my old Turbo Pascal programs.

So I configured a VirtualBox FreeDOS virtual Machine (my PC has Ubuntu 12) DOSEMU is probably your best bet. IIRC, Ubuntu used to keep it in multiverse. You could also probably just grab the binaries from its main website (or compile it yourself, heheh). DOSBox can run TP programs too, but I wouldn't recommend using it as host for serious programming (even though it may work fairly well). BTW, GPC, VPC, TMT, and FPC all support the TP dialect and can all (more or less) host on and target DOS. ...and now I'm stucked on copy the Turbo Pascal installer on the FreeDOS VM. To copy it there to use, you mean? (Just unpack the .ZIP raw and then install, don't worry about DISK1, DISK2, etc. subdirs.) If you load PCNTPK.COM (I think? that's what it's called) as packet driver, you can then use something like mTCP's DHCP then download it directly yourself! I know that works for me, at least. VirtualBox says I need to do a NET USE to configure the shared folders. I can do that, but apparently FreeDOS does not recognize NET USE, so I'm here asking if FreeDOS has another way to do a NET USE. NET USE is Microsoft Windows software. You won't have that pre-installed on FreeDOS nor Ubuntu. I'm not totally sure, but I think the answer for you is to install an FTP server (and thus use any FTP program, like from mTCP, to send and receive files when inside the VM). http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ There are other ways, e.g. writing to floppy disk image and extracting, but that's probably more klunky and complicated. But that's what I used to do in ye olde days. (Honestly, I've not bothered setting up an FTP server personally, but it shouldn't be too hard.) http://www.winimage.com/extract.htm -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.

VirtualBox says I need to do a NET USE to configure the shared folders. I can do that, but apparently FreeDOS does not recognize NET USE, so I'm here asking if FreeDOS has another way to do a NET USE. If I understand you correctly, you only want to use NET USE to access files on the host OS while running DOS within a complete virtual PC. With a DOS-aware box for your DOS, this is not necessary. For example in DOSEMU, you simply define any Linux directory as any drive letter for DOS. Similar things can be done with dosbox. The latter is mostly interesting within Windows, as DOSEMU is only available for Linux. Also, dosbox simulates even DOS itself, with gamers as the target audience. DOSEMU only simulates peripheral hardware (graphics card etc) and lets you run a real DOS inside. Dosbox only lets you use your own DOS in boot from virtual floppy mode, I think...? Last but not least, there are some DOS client drivers for a few things for VMWARE, afair, and you can use the command line SMBCLIENT DOS port if you ever need to access Samba / Windows network drives but do not want to load the memory hog MSCLIENT drivers by MS.
