Re: [Freedos-user] a note about User interfaces provided in the Semware Editor

One more thing: The command I mentioned before (SC -B) can be issued with an executable filename right after the B, in order to specify the editor executable. The default is “E.EXE”. However, if you wanted to, I suppose you could copy E.EXE to something like WS.EXE, then, to “burn” in

[Freedos-user] Semware has released TSE as Freeware

Hi listers: If any of you remember Qedit, or its big brother TSE (the Semware Editor), you may be interested to know that TSE if released as freeware. You can download a copy at www.semware.com . Though the Windows version is prominently displayed, you'll also

[Freedos-user] Jemmex and Semware editor

Hi listers: I have the Semware Editor, big brother to Qedit. I can use it fine under MS-DOS with EMM386.EXE, but, when I try to use it under FreeDOS with the default config, I get something like this: JemmEx: exception 06 occured at CS:EIP=:0707, ERRC=

[Freedos-user] Funny thing about DOSBox-x

Hi listers: I was playing with VMWare Player and installed FreeDOS 1.3RC2 on the HD image. After everything booted up, largest executable program was showing around 567Kor so. Next, I put the same installation on an image and booted it using DOSBox-X, one of the variants of DOSBox,

Re: [Freedos-user] Possible zoom metting?

12 Noon eastern would probably be ok, but, later wouldn’t hurt, as I have a morning meeting on Sat and Sun that probably won’t interfere, but, it’s tricky. So, if you do go later, for the gentleman in Australia, I wouldn’t complain, but, I know that would be hard on the folks in Europe as

[Freedos-user] Possible zoom metting?

Hi: Are you guys planning another Zoom meeting? Depending on the time and day, I might be able to join in also, but, I seem to have lost the original mail about it. Thanks! ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net

Re: [Freedos-user] Talking FreeDOS (through QEMU + emubns)

Hi: This is neat! Going to grab it and see how it works. I always wanted to try QEMU, but, never could figure out the serial stuff. Thanks for putting this together. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Mateusz VisteSent: Thursday, March 19, 2020 1:13 PMTo:

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeD OS as a blind user

I: Sorry to be so long getting back to you. It’s the next-to-the-last line in fdauto that looks for a batch file called “fdassist.bat”. Only reason I did that was that it allowed the screen reader to be installed as a package which would run both on the live cd and in the installed environment. I

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeD OS as a blind user

Hi: PROVOX loads fine, but it sends only "synth clear" (0x05) reset messages over COM1, for example when I press slash + L. It never sends me anything to actually read aloud. Did it talk to you? What key presses have you performed? I just booted into FreeDOS and it worked ok.  Pressing /l told me

[Freedos-user] Why I chose ASAP in my custom distro build

Hi: Here's why I chose to include ASAP in my custom distro. It is true that the licensing model for Provox is probably the most compatible, as far as the distribution of packages with FreeDOS is concerned. Unfortunately, Provox's manual is sparse, to say the least. It's got the bare minimum, and,

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeD OS as a blind user

Hi:  Now, going back to FreeDOS: the only improvement I can think of is to include some sort of screen reader into the distribution. That is why I was interested in the PROVOX option, since PROVOX appears to have a license perfectly compatible with FreeDOS. Sadly, I was unable to make it output

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeD OS as a blind user

Hi Karen: If your computer can boot a cd, or can boot a floppy, you can install FreeDOS. I could probably boot it up on this laptop since it's in legacy mode, but, I don't think FreeDOS would recognize the sata drive. Seems like I did boot a cd-rom containing MS-DOS one time, but, that may have

[Freedos-user] notes about setting up the ftp server.

Hi Felix If you decide to go the ftp route, here are a couple things you will need to do and some example files you will need to edit. First, once you install FreeDOS, the networking stuff will not be installed by default. To install them, run fdimples. Press down arrow until you hear ASAP say

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeDOS as a blind user

Hi: VMWare itself does not provide a solution for copying files into the DOS system. However, one way I did is using ftp. FreeDOS comes with an ftp server that you can start up. You need to edit the configuration file to put in the User name and password you want to set up, then, once you start

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeDOS as a blind user

Hi: I forgot to mention that the author of ASAP, Larry Skutchan has given me permission to include ASAP with the package, as long as I include a statement from him. I put it in one of the readme files under the ASAP directory, but, essentially, Larry Skutchan is ok with me distributing ASAP in my

Re: [Freedos-user] Introducing myself, and inquiring about using FreeDOS as a blind user

Hi Felix: Since you’re usig DOSBox, and the description of your setup, I think you have everything you need to run FreeDOS. If you want to try it, you can get VMWare Player for free and install it. I put together a version of FreeDOS  1.3 RC2 a couple months ago.  Here is the instruction files I

[Freedos-user] Another program that doesn't like the absence of the A drive

Hi listers: I thought I remembered another program that complains when there isn't a disk in the A drive, and I found it. But, this program may have more problems. When I try to use edlin16, it complains if there is no disk in the A drive, but, even if there is, it gives an
