Re: [Freedos-user] djgpp bash and autoconf for dos, new gcc
I attempted to copy the .ZIP files to a mounted HD on my Ubuntu 18.04 system, but it only allowed me to copy/create/etc a link. I am interested in knowing how 4DOS could be improved upon. What's an Old/DOS, Newer/Ubuntu dude to do? Wordstar, dBASE II, Foxpro 2.6, and more , John On 9/9/22 04:21, Eric Auer wrote: Hi! As Paul has asked for a DOS version of BASH, http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ has version 4.2 of that. The zip unfortunately is called BSH... because the website unnecessarily limits itself to 8.3 names. Note that ACNF... in the same directory is autoconf :-) In related news, as Rugxulo mentioned two weeks ago on BTTR, there now is GCC 12.2 for DJGPP: You can find it in the same directory :-) Regards, Eric PS: Japheth mentioned on BTTR that QEMU 6.2.0 has better sound and keyboard for him, with -global i8042.kbd-throttle=on as mentioned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1897568 the fix only took 15 years :-p ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] FDNPKG, FDIMPLES, online repositories and usage questions

I don't clearly remember.The file format used by packages is described at: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Package That's excellent, thanks for the info and the links! I didn't know that such a program existed, let alone that I had it installed. It would be useful if there was autocompletion for the binaries/batch files in %PATH%. I have a few questions: I checked and FDIMPLES /h says it shares most of its code with FDNPKG but they are two separate programs. I didn't find a way to use FDIMPLES with the ibiblio repositories though. Is it possible? With FDNPKG, the default repository is "latest", but I see that there's also "1.3" and "unstable". If I'm using FreeDOS 1.3, should I use "latest" or "1.3"? What's the difference? And what about "unstable"? Is there a way to show the full package description? For example, if I do fdnpkg search pgme it only shows a truncated description. It would be cool if there was some equivalent to "apt-cache show pgme" to show the details and full description of the package. Also, when you're not sure what's the name of the package you want, but you have an idea, it would be useful to be able to search in the description of all the packages, something like "apt search/apt-cache search/aptitude search". The file format used by packages is described at: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Package Is that up to date? it seems to be dated (e.g. FDOS instead of FREEDOS). The packages are mostly developed at: https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS But when you download them as zip from Gitlab, they are not in a format described in the Package link given. That's where the perl script I am writing is supposed to help translate the zip downloaded from Gitlab to a package understood by FreeDOS. I did not publish it yet... but expect to publish something in next 24h. Great! that will be very useful for package maintainers, I'm sure. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
