Hello Jim, hello Steve, hello Akaydin,
DEF SEG is necessary for BLOAD and BSAVE to operate on screen memory -
I'll add that you can also do the "old skool" thing and do like we did
in my Fortran77 programming days: prompt the user for a seed value,
and pass that to RANDOMIZE.
10 PRINT "Enter a
It seems not so hard in theory:
Define a GUID for FreeDOS.
Create a BIOS Boot partition.
Write at the beginning of BIOS Boot partition a special "MBR" that search
FreeDOS GUID partition in the GPT, load it and jump to it.___

I said: "but why don't we use gcdrom rather than UDVD2?"
Obviously because a lot of DOS computers does not have a SATA "CDROM" (probably
more DVD disk).
Ideally I would say try gcdrom, if it does not work, use old UDVD2.
But, to be more prudent I propose: try UDVD2, if it does not work, try
Hey! We already have a AHCI driver (SATA)!?
I see it at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/pkg-html/gcdrom.html
I know the installer now fail with UDVD2 for SATA... but why don't we use
gcdrom rather than UDVD2?

I was misinterpreting the priority of tickets on SourceForge.
I thought 9 was the highest, but it seems to be the lowest, according to:

Hi Paul,
Have you listed the issues you have found on the FreeDOS "feature requests” and
“bug tracker” lists on http://SourceForge.net?

Hi everybody,I am not 100% sure that DEF SEG statement is implemented in GW
BASIC but if it is, isn't it possible to read timer ticks value from BIOS Data
area and initialize random seed using this value? I know it is not the same as
"RANDOMIZE TIMER" but would be a close alternative, IMO.

You can can compile and link in one step using "wcl"

Yes. At the same time, I hear that Michal Necasek (www.os2museum.com)

Ok, since my previous message I discover: wcl and wcl386:
wcl: C/C++ compile and link utility for 16-bit targets
wcl386: C/C++ compile and link utility for 32-bit targets
taken from: https://flaterco.com/kb/ow.html
So rather than compile, then link in previous post, you can just do:
