Greetings, I am pretty ignorant of how FreeDOS is used by the community as I am sure my previous posts show. I would like to build a better understanding of FreeDOS. What is it used for most commonly? I know it is an operating system, of course, but I don't know why it is used as an operating

Dear Sirs Is there any official or recommended C compiler for Freedos? Would be great if such compiler come included on the distro so the user can create their own programs. I know djgpp and Watcom, are both compilers under active development/maintenance? -- -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Marco A.

Hi Micheal, I'd like to get some recommendations of how to work around this, either within FDCINFIG.SYS or some combination of this and other files. The goal is to present a menu with the complete list of image types (or some way of drilling down into these items) and it's easy for the
