Re: [Freedos-user] How to build FreeCom on open watcom
I think that string.mk and config.mak doesn't work well. A "-mm" or "-ms" option will set first even if set a value to FIXSTRS_MMODEL.［1］［2］ ［1］ https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/blob/master/config.std#L58 ［2］ https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/blob/master/strings/strings.mak#L5 It is a situation whitch only DOS environment. I edit string.mk and config.mak . And successfully build and didn't occurred error in init function. Thanks 2021年12月5日(日) 21:55 tom ehlert : > Hallo Herr saito yutaka, > > am Sonntag, 5.

Re: [Freedos-user] Question about FreeDOS 3.0
Hey richardkolacz101: I think that I understand the reason of the "inflated Windows Pro price from HP" (when comparing if you purchased Windows 10 from an independent vendor). I got my computers refurbished from a church charity. https://www.canberracitycare.org/tech-shed.html And I got discounted prices by saying that I wanted no software. As I would install Linux myself! -- members.iinet.net.au/~kilgallin/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I accidentally hit "send" while switching tabs, and it was too late when I came back. `dd` is not a replacement for tools such as Acronis because: 1. It requires considerable Unix knowledge 2. It requires bootable Linux media, knowing how to make them, and how to use them. 3. It is extremely dangerous and a slight error in the command will overwrite the user's hard disk. There is no feedback or confirmation. 4. It will not resize filesystems, which is the *whole point of the exercise* So: no, not a good tool. I have been using Unix systems professionally since 1988. I would not use `dd` for this task myself. > > >GPT can be used on any size of drive but must be used on drives bigger than > >2TB. Please use plain text when replying to emails. Read this if you don't understand why: https://useplaintext.email/ Your reply appeared to be simply "no". Please identify any other partitioning scheme for generic x86 clone PC-compatible computers which can partition media of larger than 2 TB, or a documented supported workaround that allows MBR to be safely used for drives bigger than 2TB. It must work at least as well as GPT, meaning it is free, works on any OS, allows the OS to be booted from the drive, etc. I do not know of any such system but I am always happy to learn. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] Re : DBCS question about dosbox-x
Hello Eric, hello Paul, Hi! I read on https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.15.html that DOSBOX-X now supports DBCS for CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) languages. Do you happen to know how they do that? Well, more info about mentioned DOS/V is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS/V I realize this thread is a bit old, but anyway I recently found that archive.org hosts a copy of Japanese MS-DOS 5.0/V: https://archive.org/details/microsoft-dos-v-5.0-v-japanese The disk images have weird file sizes for some reason, but you can try padding each them to 1.44MiB (1,474,560 bytes).
