DJGPP has not been updated in a while for a couple reasons. I have nothing against it. But, I don’t use it. There are numerous pieces. Which aren’t needed? What relies on other things? Which are the most popular? Which should be included? I look at that large collection of components and

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 2022 calendar

2022-01-03 Thread Jim Hall
Hi everyone! I created a 2022 FreeDOS calendar, where each month shows a different screenshot from FreeDOS. And to make it look really nice, I applied a "blur" effect behind the screenshot, and a "video" effect to the screenshot itself, with a drop shadow. The months are: 01 Jan - Install 02

Thankyou everyone for your answers. I've made a lot of progress and Freedos is looking fantastic. The first problem I would like to address is that I have installed the DOS version of mplayer and the video is working fine, but there is no audio. Some research said that I need to use jemm with

Are you doing this to make money for FreeDOS? If not, why not make the digital images available for free? I can see some taking this and adding their own country's holidays, etc. I personally don't need a calendar that only has one date marked (no disrespect to FreeDOS), but if it had other dates
