Hi everyone!
I wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming FreeDOS virtual
get-together, happening on Sunday, May 5 at 11am US/Central (use your
favorite timezone converter to find your local time).
I'll share the link when the meeting starts. As before, we'll use Google Meet.
We alternate topics

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

But I copied over most of the wiki before then. Two things that are

Based on my other email about getting IA-16 GCC to work on T2404

Hi everyone!
For anyone who needs more info: libmpi is a Multiple Precision Integer
library, and libm is a C math library. Both are public domain. You can

So now phishers are pretending to be FreeDOS emails. That's pretty targeted
phishing (aka "spear phishing" where attackers customize the email to be
very specific to the recipient).
Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen this, but I'll watch for it now.
