I created a FreeDOS program that simulates printing on a 9-pin impact

I made this for a few reasons: 1. I am writing an article about dot

It was something fun to do in an afternoon.

To correct myself: I was getting a bunch of unrelated errors because I
made a mistake in my SETENV.BAT file. I set the CL, LINK, and MASM
variables to point to the executables (similar to what you might do on
Unix makefiles with CC, CFLAGS, etc)
But those variables are options to those commands

One question I have is: is there a zip file where I can download all
of HTML Help at once, to view on my local computer? I checked on your
website starting at

I didn't see Willi's email to freedos-devel because it was part of an
unrelated topic, so I am re-sharing his email under a new thread to
raise visibility.

This is a really interesting effort and I think it would be good to
find a way to get Willi's efforts integrated somehow into the
changelog for the monthly test releases. But as you've mentioned,
there's a lot of overlap here. I think the right place to start is to
talk about it. But we
Hi Eric!
I'm glad you're bringing this conversation back to freedos-devel ..

Here's my second pass at cleaning up my FDAUTO.BAT file. If you like

and easier to see what's happening.
First, here's my text description of what's going on in FDAUTO. I'll
reply with a copy of the FDAUTO that I'm
