Excerpt from Eddie Anderson:
Because FreeDOS lacks MouseKeys functionality (and because my
PCs are old (and no longer reliably support mice)), I had to stop
using many old programs for many years. Then I found DOSBox on

FWIW, I've been mulling around in my head and doing a little research on what
threads in DOS might need to look like. Based on what I've seen so far, I
think it might be possible to do parallel processing in DOS, but not threads
(at least not in the traditional sense).
There would be lots of
For multi-threading, at least for DJGPP, there were 4 libraries [1]:
POSIX Threads[2]
LWP [3]
PDMLWP [4]
Palantir for Allegro [5]

I think threading without multiprocessing is of very limited usefulness in DOS.
All of the other OS's already do that -- I personally don't see a lot of value
there.
I do think that adding multiprocessor support could be quite beneficial, though.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the responses. I really don't have a project/idea in mind but
am looking to get my hands dirty and develop/work on/debug/poke anything
that needs to be done to improve the project.

... though because font sizes etc have not been set, text size is rather
large and duplexer is not taken advantage of.
You should be able to send some formatting codes to the printer with a batch
file (even AUTOEXEC if the printer is always powered up) to change the font
size, margins, etc.

Hello Folks,

I currently work developing and testing printer firmware and software but

That largely depends on what you would like to improve.

Getting Started with creating packages or trying anyway.
I am grabbing everything from all the directory with FileZilla
Are the new files in devel or under the individual directories both places?
or should I follow only the web software list
thanks
