Re: [Freedos-devel] NLS in Edlin

Believe me, I've had a few headaches over the years regarding NLS. This led to the myriad of ways to do NLS in Edlin. Anyway, all the strings that would need to be translated are #defines in msgs.h, and I included a simple filter program to generate msgs.h files from the NLS files. I don't know

Re: [Freedos-devel] NLS in Edlin

I tried to make Edlin portable enough so that multiple toolchains would work on it. I normally use Cygwin with GCC and make to compile it, but FreeDOS is a DOS, so I tried to make it so that multiple compilers could compile it. Forgive my wording here... Anyway, tweaking config.h should take

Re: [Freedos-devel] NLS in Edlin

I made recompiling Edlin easy for non-programmers, so that shouldn't be a problem. You don't have to know a lick of C to recompile it. One would still need the toolchain, so it would be great if there could be somebody who already has it (and does know C, just in case) who would volunteer as

Re: [Freedos-devel] NLS in Edlin

Hi! Willi Spiegl said in the meeting that there is no NLS in Edlin. I beg to differ! As with the HTMLHELP versus AMB issue, the problem, as far as I have understood Willi, is the lack of a process, possibly an automated pipeline, which will take updated translations and spread them to the

[Freedos-devel] NLS in Edlin

Willi Spiegl said in the meeting that there is no NLS in Edlin. I beg to differ! There are two different ways of supporting NLS in Edlin. The first (easy) way is that in the source code, all the message strings are in a file called msgs.h, so by translating the strings, putting the

Hi Jim, I'm glad you're bringing this conversation back to freedos-devel .. because this is a good place to discuss FreeDOS things. In related news, the dosemu2 people also find the problem interesting. Their discussion mentions that FDPP, a port of the FreeDOS kernel,
