Hi Robert, to find my GRAPHICS for DOS, check our list: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/software/ - base - graphics Maybe I should have mentioned the names graphpin, graph-hp and graph-ps, as graphics is just a wrapper for the tree :-) While you can potentially use the POSTSCRIPT variant

Hi! the moment, JEMMEX already is too fancy for many ancient DOS games which use pre-VCPI DOS extenders, so it is good that HIMEMX and JEMM386 are still separately available. Also, isn't JEMM actually FreeDOS's memory manager of choice? I suppose there was such a thing as FreeDOS EMM

Hi Gino! I've been using FreeDOS for a while and it works great. Nice :-) I'd like to write an Intel HDA driver for SCI games (Sierra quests). Ok, they work great under Dosbox, but I still prefer using plain DOS. You could at least use dosemu :-p Much faster :-) I consider myself a good

Hi! It's strange. I've got 2 PC's with Intel HDA and MPXPLAY only works with 1. A desktop with D915GEV mainboard: It works! A laptop Dell Inspiron 6400: It doesn't work! I think the first one is Intel ICH6 and the second one is ICH7 but I am not sure what it means. maybe the music

Hi Jack, Ah okay... So there would be a separate API, and separate memory areas for XMS 2/3 and the new API then? Absolutely! Forgetting XMS V2.0 (only 64-MB), I am suggesting that all XMS V3.0 requests for 4-GB remain as-is, using the first 4-GB of memory. XMS V4.0 commands, if we

Hi Jack, Note that the new apps will also have to use XMS 3 to get the 3-GB or similar that will be free in the first 4 GB because no sane XMS 3 app will use much of those 4 GB... ;-) I mean if you have some XMS 4 ramdisk then it should also allow combined usage of XMS 3 and 4, otherwise it
