Hi all,
There is an incompatibility issue with the "File Selection" dialogs of one of
our legacy engineering MS-DOS programs. We don't have the source code of the
program but I know it was written in Borland Turbo-Basic a long time ago. For
years I thought it was a flaw in the FreeDOS compatibi
Hi Denis,
you write that for getting 2 digit, AM/PM, space 1000s sep
DIR output from freecom, you use SET DIRCMD=/-4 but failed
to find a way to set COUNTRY to 002,863,c:\fdos\bin\country.sys
in the context of DOSBOX. I still think it would be a lot
easier to find out how to change DOSBOX country
Hi Eric,

Bonjour Steve and Eric,
Actually I don't already know how to use VDOS, VMSMOUNT, DISPLAY, MODE CON,
DEVLOAD and "int 21h function AH=38h" TSR tool. These are good hints that I
will explore.
I believe the codepage 863 is not mandatory: the default 437 is probably
