Re: [Freedos-user] [Freedosuser] FreeDOS localisation project
Hi, some more Italian translations are available at my Italian FreeDOS page: http://www.mariottini.net/freedos/english.html In particular you can find the translations of DISKCOPY, MOVE, SORT and TREE. In the next weeks I can look at the missing programs to translate them as well. Can you indicate the version at the beginning of the EN file? It's easier for me to know what is changed between revisions, so what needs to be updated. About Freecom: I suppose that CVS version 1.34 2004/12/01 21:20:46 is the same as SVN Revision 1067** http://freedos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freedos?view=revrevision=1067, am I right? How comes that the ES translation is more up-to date that the EN one? Another note: in my page you can find the file setup-it.zip, that contains all the localized files for the FreeDOS Install program. The ones included in the FreeDOS 1.0 version were old and used the wrong codepage. I don't know if they are still useful, let me know. Ciao Mateusz Viste wrote: Hi all!

Re: [Freedos-user] Installing programs on FreeDOS v1.1
Hi, as long as core / tool programs are in some directory in PATH, things will be fine. For other apps, people can add a batch into one of the directories in PATH or they can use ALIAS or just chdir to the place to run stuff :-). Of course PATH can differ between different DOSes and different people who make different decisions on where to install DOS, but it always points to a place where you can find at least the basic DOS. Eric Utilities too late the party? Because I think the utilities and freedos core should be separated. Here is one reason why. Say I am working on a program that I want to be dos compatible. any Dos and not just free dos, or I need to test the compatibility. C:\FDOS C:\MSDOS etc and this could be done with a simple batch menu. But I may want to use things that are in the freedos bin direcory but since they are mixed in with the standard freedos applications I have to manual type in the whole path to use them because the aren't separated. as for package determination, yes its an extra step but I think its the right one to make. is this core or not not too hard of a question. :) if everything executable in mixed together it becomes difficult to manage. I know it more work but sometimes more work is required. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Freedos-user] WAS Re: [Freedosuser] FreeDOS localisation project = 2038 issue?
Hi Geraldo, talking about date what will happen to freedos(kernel stuff?) at 2038? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem DOS has another date handling scheme, it counts 128 years starting at 1980, so we have enough time :-). But note that many DOS programs also decide to use other methods of counting, including 2 digit year or of course such schemes which involve year 2038. FreeDOS already does contain a workaround for BIOS year 2000 issues when they are obvious (in the get time at boot routine) but it does not take a big effort to catch all / obscure year 2000 bugs here. Eric PS: RBIL says that year must be 2100, I guess this means that MS DOS did not implement leap years fully. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Freedos-user] Installing programs on FreeDOS v1.1
Hi! It appears that any binary package installed on FreeDOS goes to /BIN. Almost. Packages which need many files in the same BINish directory have separate directories. This includes for example Arachne, DOG, Emacs, Network and USB driver bags, FBC, GhostScript, the 1.0 game collection, FDSMTPOP, LYNX, OpenXP, PacificC, Pegasus Mail, SETEDIT with plugins and maybe other packages in FreeDOS 1.0 ... Note that some of the packages have few enough files to move them to the main BIN directory while others got replaced etc etc :-). Besides that, there's no clear directive about how to install 3rd party apps. I would propose the following rules: - Any DOS replacement stuff (move, tree, format...) goes to \BIN\ - Any system enhacement (grep, ls, pcisleep, cwsdpmi, fdupdate...) goes to \SBIN\ You can do that but should not overdo it. For example the 2.88 MB one disk variant of the Rugxulo distro has: utils, system, media, games, fdos and docs as main category directories. For a normal FreeDOS CD / DVD / USB / harddisk distro, I think the structure of FreeDOS 1.0 is better than the structure of Rugxulo 2.88, though. - Any 3rd party program (SEAL, Arachne, FreeBASIC, MPXPLAY...) goes to $apps\programs\ - Any 3rd party game (Doom...) goes to $apps\games\ See above - but APPS is just the same as DOSDIR in FreeDOS 1.0 :-) Eric -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Freedos-user] What about changing our packaging style for v1.1?
Hi Jim :-)) On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 9:30 AM, Mateusz Viste wrote: Hi people! So far, we have always used packaging sources and binaries differently (that is, in separate packages, like memx.zip and mems.zip). I am trying to put some effort these days into syncing some packages to make them ready for v1.1, and I have to tell that handling sources and binaries in different ways is a big pain. Besides that, the source package doesn't contain its own LSM file, which makes its hard (or at least unreliable) to keep track of what source is installed in what version. Therefore, I am proposing to drop the sources / binaries way of thinking, and stay with one package per program. For example, a mem.zip package would contain both sources and binaries. It would allow me to work much faster on packaging, and hopefully could lead to a v1.1 sooner. Some reasons to do that (quotes from Eric): - it is easy to delete /source/mem/* to keep only binaries, - it is not really allowed with GNU GPL License to publish binaries without sources anyway, - it can be hard for people to find exactly the right version of the sources manually later, so it is best to include them, - it makes life easier for installing and you can always drop the sources after installing. Please tell me what are your opinions in that matter. Jim Hall wrote: These days, hard drives have lots of capacity. While including the sources would add to the size, we're talking on the order of MB, not GB. Including the source and binaries together certainly provides that every program in the FreeDOS 1.1 distro also includes the source code. I am a big fan of this. Thanks :-) I think it will make packaging easier... On the other hand, I would suggest two things: A binary-only install mode in FDPKG / FDUPDATE / installer which simply skips the source/NAME dir while unzipping (or deletes it afterwards) and a binary-only ISO for people with slow internet, as generated by dropping the source directories inside the package zip files. In short: Let us COLLECT all packages as FULL packages (binary AND source) for most purposes and use AUTOMATED ways to shrink full into binary for people with small disk or small internet :-). Can you put this in the FreeDOS Wiki, so people don't have to revisit this topic again in a year after we've forgotten? :-) Sounds useful - if anybody needs a wiki login, let me know ;-) Eric -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Freedos-user] patents - was: LFN in FreeDOS kernel? - was: aimed compatibility?
Hi Aitor, But then it wouldn't be compatible with the LFN that came with Windows9X and is used in the millions of USB devices or the like, nor with the applications that are LFN-aware (unless you'd like to rewrite the DOS LFN API descript.ion-based... ... I think a descript.ion file based driver to support long file names would be a fine idea indeed :-). And it would avoid the ugly kludgy way in which MS stores LFN spread over multiple directory entries. Well actually that is what I meant - descript.ion is a classic for some shells and file managers, but it is also a nice way to store long file names in filesystem independent way and without having to implement any kludgy patented VFAT style LFN storage. With a driver showing the usual int 21 LFN interface to the apps but using descript.ion instead of LFN fragment direntry chains for the actual LFN storage, we can have more free, more open and more portable long file names :-). On the down side, the driver will not read or write VFAT LFNs for you, so if you want to let Windows and DOS access the same drive, you would not share LFNs. This includes USB drives and MP3 player devices and similar, but not for example CD / DVD which use non-VFAT LFNs anyway for which DOS uses separate drivers anyway... In short: If you want VFAT then the only way to get it is to use VFAT, but that might have licensing issues if you use DOS in your embedded device. If you only want LFN, you can get it even in a way that makes LFN DOS apps happy without having to touch VFAT data structures, using a descript.ion based LFN API driver :-).

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos 1.1 status???
Hi! FreeDOS has been using info-zip as the ZIP and UNZIP tool ever since I can remember. And it works very nicely, so I do not miss PKZIP either. If somebody really does miss it, a wrapper to translate PKZIP OPTIONX into a call to ZIP OPTIONY might be an idea, but as said, I do not think anybody would miss PKZIP when he has INFO ZIP :-). Alain M. wrote: King InuYasha escreveu: I believe Info-ZIP has a suitable replacement for PKware's DOS pkzip and pkunzip (ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/msdos/).

The 16bit UNZIP can handle any size zip file, so it is perfectly ok, only ZIP needs to be 32 bit for very big archives.
