Hi! I said it before but I'll re-iterate - any filesystem with proper journaling would be a total banger. I still remember how Rayman ate my FreeDOS and I still have dosfsck in my fdauto as a preventative measure. It's slow as molasses in January however. The same program under Linux blows

Hi, I'm not entirely sure NT (Win XP etc.) ever supported such a thing atop FAT32 either (via DOS calls). Via DOS calls in NT? Not sure. But in ordinary operations, it was as normal as pie. I remember pretty well that I had to cut up >4GiB files into pieces so that we could transfer them

Hi! You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get sound on it. Sound, network and graphics are not related to DOS as operating system: Because the kernel does not support those, the applications, not the operating system, are the ones who have to support it. This also means

Do you know maybe where do these limits come from? I thought it should be 4GiB for both since this is the file size limit for FAT32. Best regards, Michał Dec W dniu 01.11.2023 o 21:33, Dale E Sterner via Freedos-user pisze: You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get

You use to promote MSdos 7.1. Have you ever found a way to get sound on it. I deleted a command called KILL on it. Do you know what that command does because I don't? I love the large file size that it supports. Freedos is limited to 2 gigs and PCdos stops a 8 gigs. cheers DS On Tue, 31 Oct
