Re: [Freedos-user] Rugxulo IS A FRAUD!!!
Calmaros un poco todos, estais demasiado irritados. El desarrollador de base ha realizado un esfuerzo en tiempo y conocimientos para desarrollar los drivers. Si en un momento dado los aportó libremente al proyecto y no quiere seguir dando soporte o aportanto nuevas versiones está en su derecho. Si además pide que se quiten de las descargas todos sus trabajos a pesar de que no guste deberíais atender sus peticiones en mi modesta opinión. Comportaros un poco, entrar en esta dinámica de tiras y aflojas no beneficia a nadie. FreeDos es un proyecto que me gusta como afición y está muy alejado de otros sistemas operativos modernos. Una de las cosas interesantes que tiene aparte del sistema operativo es la comunidad de usuarios, no la fastidieis, no sois los únicos que participais ni aportais vuestro trabajo, hay muchos más desarrolladores que ofrecen con toda su mejor voluntad lo que crean, cada uno en sus capacidades, drivers, utilidades, correcciones Saludos y como os han dicho PAZ, por favor, si es que sois capaces por ambas partes, aunque lo dudo, convencerme de lo contrario.

Re: [Freedos-user] recovering a file?
1º. Undelete command. 2º. Boot with a Linux Live CD (like knoppix), some distros include TestDisk and PhotoRec. It is very important that the restored files will be placed in an alternative storage, not in the original, media. If files have not been overwritten (i think DOS mark first name character as ? for avalable in FAT) there is possible to recover. There is also a versión for DOS: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk 3.º Under Win exists Recuva easy to use: http://www.piriform.com/recuva Sorry for my bad english. Regards.

Re: [Freedos-user] VESA svga driver
http://www.dosdriver.de/graph.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniVBE The other way is to make your own driver but it is necesary to know programming (http://kd5col.info/swag/EGAVGA/index.html) and the information about all versions of VESA Standard, it is difficult because not all video cards have support for all versions. You must get supported vesa version before to know supported functions. A lot of information about video interrupt in http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int-10.htm (int 10h (hex)). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pc-hardware-faq/supervga-programming/ Another interesting info is about SVGA http://www.osdever.net/FreeVGA/home.htm Accesing directly to registerss is the hard way but need a lot of knogledge. Also you must read the license of the software before use it. If you need to make a graphics mode program you can use FreePascal for DOS GO32V2(http://www.freepascal.org) and use a contributed unit to have video support or embeded support http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/graph/index.html http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/graph/modes.html. - Original Message - From: "Chris Evans" To: Sent: Friday, March 22, 2013 9:16 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] VESA svga driver > Anyone know where i can get a generic SVGA VESA driver for freedos? > I try univbe but it says I need a S3 chip.. > > > > > -- > Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [Freedos-user] New release of the Dillo web browser for DOS
Tiene buena pinta, gracias, a ver si puedo descargarlo y probar que tal funciona.

Then I made a Desktop for FreeDOS called XFDOS: http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/wiki/XFDOS This includes the applications Dillo, FlWriter, a spreadsheet editor, antipaint, mupdf viewer, an image viewer, a personal planner and calender plus further applications.
