Re: [Freedos-user] Minimum FreeDOS on a 1.44 Floppy with Symantec's Ghost

 I use Ghost to do backups, and prefer the older version that runs under DOS,
 booted from a floppy. But (for various reasons) I need fdisk and format
 on it. Ghost, when creating the floppy, uses PC-DOS, but does not add these
 commands, and I do not have a PC-DOS version of them. If I use the MS-DOS
 versions, which I do have, I get Incorrect version.

I have PCDOS2000 by IBM I can make you a boot disk with whatever fits.
If you have good bandwidth I can make an iso of that which you can dd
back to floppy at your pleasure.  Or I can do it with 2disk and 2 floppy
which are free and send them as well.

[Freedos-user] Shane Land GEMini 3 further details

2005-05-30 Thread Shane M. Coughlan
This email is about the GEMini GUI file manager that I created and maintain 
for FreeDOS.


I have been getting some questions about the code and license underlying the 
GEMini GUI file manager, most especially because the next release of the 
file manager will use a lot of Digital Research GEM code instead of code 
generated by the FreeGEM community.  Will this change the license that 
GEMini is released under?


In short, no.  GEMini will be GPL.  FreeGEM is based on the GPL DR GEM code. 
By going back to DR GEM code the license will stay the same.


The applications files included with GEMini Release 3 are as follows:

WRITE.* - parts of the write application, used to view files.  Released by
Caldera as GPL, but the source code was lost in a flooding at DR fifteen
years ago.

GEM.EXE the main GEM GUI file.  Source code available.

GEMVDI.EXE the GEM video file.  Source code available.

DESKHI an icon set.  GEM SDK can edit and alter this.

SDPSC9 video driver.  GPL, but the source code for this may also be missing.

DESKTOP.* this is the FreeGEM desktop 3.2.  Source code available.

DESK1.ACC an accessory set (GEM calculator and clock).  Source code
available.

Everything apart from DESKTOP.* is now sourced from DR GEM 3.13 or DR GEM 
1.6 code.


CHOICE is the FreeDOS choice.

CTMOUSE the same.

SHUTDOWN is a GPL application.


You can download GEMini Release 3RC3 at 
http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/downloads/GEMINI3RC3.zip


GEMini Release 3 (final version) should be out in around a week.  I will 
also have the sources to download from my site at that time.


Regards

Shane
