Re: [Freedos-user] piping .BATs (input and output)

Hello! I am not quite sure how you intend to manage the stdin input inside the batch file, but I was wondering if you are looking for something like xargs (from Unix) and if a port of xargs to DOS would help (extra complexity for keeping global variables though). Aitor El lun, 20 nov 2023,

Re: [Freedos-user] What DOS programs represent the 1980s and early 90s?

Hello Jim, I'm giving my own view that I've lived from this corner of the world. As for operating systems/environments, it was mostly MS-DOS 3.X, 5.X and 6.22, and of course, Windows 3.1 (before the arrival of Windows95). I heard of machines having DR-DOS or OS/2, but did never quite catch up.

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

Hello Eric, You are right. In Spanish it happens the same, and I assume in many other keyboard distributions out there. So, closed case. If someone wants R-ALt to act like L-Alt, maybe they can try the KEYB trick and let us know. Aitor On Sat, 28 Oct 2023 at 21:07, Eric Auer via

Re: [Freedos-user] R-Alt does not act like L-Alt

Hello, Sounds like it could be a bug in Edit, I'll see about it when I have a little time. Now for the original question: is it possible to make R-Alt work like L-Alt? It should be possible to do that with FD-KEYB.The idea is to intercept Right-Alt and then emit Left-Alt, and get back to the

Re: [Freedos-user] KEY language specification for custom keyboard layout?

Hello there! The documentation for the KEY language is included within the KC/KLIB binary distribution: DOC\KC\KEY.TXT For some reason, I am no longer able to find the distribution of KC/KLIB within Ibiblio or GitLab (maybe Jerome can help?) But fortunately, there is an online copy at:

Hello Joao, I think in the thread the bug was mentioned to happen in mKEYB, could you please try FD-KEYB to see if the bug is there and needs to be corrected too? Thanks, Aitor On Mon, 2 Oct 2023 at 07:26, Joao Silva via Freedos-user < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi! > > i' m

Re: [Freedos-user] languages

Hi, The question is not very clear to me, but the installation of FreeDOS gives you choice for lots and lots of keyboard layouts (Keyboard) and codepages (screen), as well as many National Language Support for kernel. However, translation of messages can be a bit uneven, depending on the

Hello, I would use MODE CON. After all, you want to reconfigure the console, and that is what MODE CON is for. Aitor On Sun, 6 Aug 2023 at 02:10, zerofive--- via Freedos-user < freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > This question may been asked a million times but I just can't figure it
