Re: [Freedos-devel] special old DOS software looking for a place online
Hi everybody, thanks to help from two men, NEWTRACK is on track again! In other words: https://auersoft.eu/uni/newtrack-eyetracker/ and https://auersoft.eu/soft/ are working again and there even is a new mirror: https://m.lod.bz/auersoft.eu/soft/ etc. Thanks to Jerome and Tassilo for mirror and resurrection! At https://fd.lod.bz/ you also find a HTML mirror of RBIL and all that FreeDOS distro content curated by Jerome :-) Cheers, Eric ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel

Regards, Eric > > Sure, I can put put it on my server. Most likely somewhere under https://fd.lod.bz/redist/ That path contains stuff not in the FreeDOS repos for various reasons. Like MBRTOOL, that can be freely redistributed. But for license reasons, cannot be made into a package or provided with the OS. Just email me a zip with everything in it and I’ll put it up there. If there is anything else you’d like up there, just let me know. :-) Jerome > > ___ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
[Freedos-devel] special old DOS software looking for a place online
Hi developers! As you may remember, I wrote a rather specialized eyetracking software called NEWTRACK *long* ago. It is open source, written in DJGPP GNU C and works with dual PCI VGA/VESA graphics. Given that I have no working web domain at the moment, would anybody be interested in mirroring it? The whole directory with docs (PDF and PS.GZ), CWSDMPI and index.html is less than one megabyte in size. This software is for eye-tracking with eyetrackers with analog output and two simple bit-banged LTC1286 A/D on the printer port, which also has reaction buttons wired to it. Example adapter schematics are included as eps and fig graphics files. You can imagine that this feels rather "retro" today. Everybody uses cameras and image processing instead for tracking eye movements today. Still the software is interesting, among other things, as example for dual PCI (or PCIe) VGA access with VESA on one screen for PCX. It has precision timestamping with RDTSC, too :-) Thank you!
