2. The Freemacs editor needs updating.
Interesting :-). Aitor also plans to update our EDIT, but
I have not heard about his project recently...
I'm just packing. Most probably the 1st week of July can be settled as deadline.

Speaking of freedos 1.1.
I know freedos isn't intended to be dos *exactly* but it is intended
to be a free dos replacement.
This is fine for those using emulators under other operating systems,
and those who can see their screens.
However,
Hello:
I seem to remember that there was an easy way to mount a local win
directory inside VMWare (as an extra driver or whatever), but I can't
find the reference, could someone give me a clue?
I am not interested in something elaborate such as using the network
bridge. Something as simple as to
Thanks to both, I knew the DOSEMU stuff, and was new to VirtualBox!!
Incidentally, some minutes later I've found it, it is called DiskMount:

and it is a pure commandline tool that works acceptably ok. It does
just that: mounts the disk

Interesting... can you use it to mount directories or only disks and/or
partitions? It makes a big difference because a disk cannot be accessed
by two OSes...

Hello,
Maybe you know it already, but it seems that Sun have launched their
own virtualisation software:

It was completely new to me, but I was wondering if someone has tried
FreeDOS there already.
Cheers!

Hello:
I announce my new project, FreeDOS DFlat +, as a set of libraries for
easily designing text-mode user interfaces based on windowing and
messaging, which has been excerpted out of FreeDOS EDIT 0.7d, in order
to be used by other developers to create their text-mode user
interface with
Hi all,
I hereby announce FreeDOS EDIT 0.9a (the sucessor of EDIT 0.7d).
The big change about the 0.9 series is that it is now based on FreeDOS
DFlat+, which is a user interface development toolkit, that has
actually been excerpted (and continued) from EDIT. Thus, if you ever
happen to see
Michael,
The HW.MAK as it is (Makefile for Hello World), is ready to compile
for BorlandC. If you plan to develop for OpenWatcom C/C++ you'll need
to edit the makefile yourself and comment some lines in/out. wcc is
the compiler executable for open watcom.
In many cases (as now) you need to tune

Also note that Borland's make and Watcom's wmake work a bit
differently, so maybe the changes are more than expected.
Shall this implicate you didn't test it with watcom? (Sorry if my
understanding of English is weak.)
No, that I didn't

And it works for me.

Hello all,
I am bringing the conversation to private, as it seems mostly a OWC
configuration problem. If anyone is interested in following, let us
know.

Martin,
Of course I tried under Open Watcom.
Try these lines:

Well, I have my doubts, WMAKE is also opensource (as much as
OpenWatcom), when compiling with OWC I just prefer the all-in-one
approach.
I do not know much about GMAKE, but the ones I've seen look like a bit
overly complex to me?
