Hi David,
Canadian English mirrors UK English in spelling.
If wordstar allows one to save files in plain text, then this might be the
ticket. will certainly be worth a try.

Hi Karen,
For quite a number of years, (before I even had Windows 3.1), I used
Wordstar 2000 r3.00; 1988 version. Being pure DOS, you could only
interact by keyboard - no mouse function. I am British, so did not need

Hi folks,
My goal is to quickly do spell checking leading to Canadian spellings for
files I am going to share on the Internet.
I have Wordperfect 6.2, and it is supposed to let me write in Canadian
English..but I have not managed to ge
Correction…

Hi Jerome,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I had not appreciated that the
USB version of FreeDOS 1.3 is not a live system!
Having followed your instructions carefully, I now have the following in
fdconfig.sys :
SET DOSDIR=C:\FREEDOS
!COUNTRY=001,858,C:\FREEDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS

Thanks for the quick response. According to your response, using a USB is my
best option.
How large of thumb drive is required? Can any unrelated files be on the thumb
drive or does it need to be "clean"?
Thanks

Hi:
I am trying to repurpose a HP Pentium 4 PC (3.4 GHz processor, 2 GB memory,
originally OS Windows XP). Note: the hard drive has been wiped with Drive
Scrubber 2.
I downloaded FreeDOS 1.3 Legacy CD. Unzipped the FD13LGCY and burned it to a
CD using the disc burning software that comes wit
That's a safeguard too, and another way of booting, or swapping... *-*.

Hi,
While the USB media is technically a running version of FreeDOS,
the USB install media is not configured to be used as a portable installation
of FreeDOS.
It is configured for the single purpose of installing the OS and not for
general usage.

Hi,
I am using FreeDOS 1.3 on a USB stick.
On booting up, it ask for language selection, (English), and then asks
whether to install to hard disk, (refused), so it returns to DOS. I

which are exactly as provided in the o

FreeDOS did you install*, and *what do you see first when FreeDOS starts up
on the computer? *
I hope you're running FreeDOS 1.3 .. or maybe the release candidate for

Hi,
You could try HimemX an extended memory manager for FreeDOS. It works
similarly to the EMM386.EXE in MS-DOS. You can download HimemX from
https://github.com/FDOS/HimemX
To use it, add the following lines to your `config.sys` file:
DEVICE=HIMEMX.EXE
