Hi, some more Italian translations are available at my Italian FreeDOS page: http://www.mariottini.net/freedos/english.html In particular you can find the translations of DISKCOPY, MOVE, SORT and TREE. In the next weeks I can look at the missing programs to translate them as well. Can you

Does freedos/fat/dos store the files date and time information properly. Perhaps we could go by newer file instead of messages. The newer version of something may have less after some cleanup. On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Mateusz Viste mate...@viste-family.net wrote: On Wednesday 08 April

Hi, as long as core / tool programs are in some directory in PATH, things will be fine. For other apps, people can add a batch into one of the directories in PATH or they can use ALIAS or just chdir to the place to run stuff :-). Of course PATH can differ between different DOSes and different

Hi Geraldo, talking about date what will happen to freedos(kernel stuff?) at 2038? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem DOS has another date handling scheme, it counts 128 years starting at 1980, so we have enough time :-). But note that many DOS programs also decide to use other

Hi! It appears that any binary package installed on FreeDOS goes to /BIN. Almost. Packages which need many files in the same BINish directory have separate directories. This includes for example Arachne, DOG, Emacs, Network and USB driver bags, FBC, GhostScript, the 1.0 game collection,

Hi! FreeDOS has been using info-zip as the ZIP and UNZIP tool ever since I can remember. And it works very nicely, so I do not miss PKZIP either. If somebody really does miss it, a wrapper to translate PKZIP OPTIONX into a call to ZIP OPTIONY might be an idea, but as said, I do not think anybody

[Freedos-user] Compressed folders?

2009-04-08 Thread Michael Horvath
Is there a way to compress folders so they take up less space? Ideally, I would like to be able to compress into a zip file, and still have the OS treat it as a regular folder. As long as other OSs can view/access the folder and its files, then any type of compression is OK. Thanks. -Mike
