Re: [Freedos-user] Writing Utilities for FreeDOS

So I think I'm nearly ready to start futzing around with FreeDOS code, but it's still a little foreign to me: I'm used to 32-bit Windows C++. In Visual Studio, no less. Are there any good books or online guides out there for learning intermediate [Free]DOS 16-bit C programming? Also, do I need a native FreeDOS environment to compile in, or can I cross-compile with gcc? Also also, is there a good IDE that'll run in Windows XP, or do I need to use RHIDE in something like DOSBox? I remember using RHIDE on my old old old 486 Laptop the first time I started playing around with DOS code, but it was unbearably slow. Thanks, I'm really appreciative of the FreeDOS community. --Jay gcc can compile and cross-compile 32-bit DOS stuff, but not 16... for 16-bit C you'll prolly need a DOS-based compiler running on some form or emulation of DOS, or Watcom runs native on NT... -uso. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Robotic Monkeys at ThinkGeek For a limited time only, get FREE Ground shipping on all orders of $35 or more.

You should debug your program a bit interactively. It will be interesting to find out why FreeDOS needs the DIR first. Please compare a few kernel versions to find out if all or only a few are affected by this strange behaviour. COMDRIVE strangeness ist the other way round by the way: DIR statistics are broken, but you can even do a DOSFSCK on the remote drive without serious problems. BOOTFIX is happy, too. Maybe drive change (away from default A:) is not reflected in all of the remote drive status in FreeDOS - but even in PC DOS things do not work smoothly. I hope that some experts will eventually read and comment my analysis (another thread, on the freedos-kernel list) and find some workaround. For interactivity, contact me on ICQ or join the #freedos IRC on irc.i7c.org ... Best, Eric. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

Re: [Freedos-user] Kernel LFN support
Luchezar Georgiev a crit : Just thinking maybe can use FreeDOS to rescue NTFS, if too complex then drop it. The read-only version of NTFSDOS is free, but the read-write version isn't :( But the ntfs tools on ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/disk/ntfs.zip .Are they GPL? Is FreeDOS ready for LFN? I mean LFN will affect the FAT table, is FreeDOS already spare enough 'space' for the extra space? And other disk maintenance program will not cause false alarm. (e.g. corrupted FAT table, misallocation of file) LFNs affect (infect? ;-) only directories, not FATs. But integrating LFN into kernel will lack flexibility... No. We have FAT16 and FAT32 kernels, so we can have SFN and LFN kernels. How about modify the kernel to provide API, and load LFN as a device driver? Then we can change the device driver without altering the kernel version by version. It's the driver who provides the API. They're tied together. Integrating the driver simplifies it. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Freedos-user] Another FreeDOS BootDisk
Hi everyone, I made a new FreeDOS Bootdisk (not really because there are older version but in french and which included some non-free softwares and was partially in french; I was posting it on an abandonware forum) called Another FreeDOS BootDisk (yes that's a stupid name). It uses a ramdisk with TurboDSK and findtdsk (from Marc Bailey ) to boot. It includes : -Base FreeDOS system (fc, mem, attrib, command...) -zip and unzip -defrag -undelete and unformat -cwsdpmi -dosfsck -part -two games : 2ktetris and psrinvad -cmos It need at least a 386 cpu and 4mb of ram (the ramdisk needs 2mb...)
