You should be able to access an ipod as a USB stick, but the music files will all have 4 letter [seemingly] random names and so it would be hard to tell which files are which songs.

From there cdrecord or cdrkit should recognize the drive; you can run for example "[cdrecord|wodim] -scanbus" to see if it is recognized. I'm not sure where you can find the most recent dos port of cdrecord, but you can find cdrkit on my website (http://sites.google.com/site/blairdude/cdrkit). You should be able to burn CDs or DVDs with this software, but remember that there are still no UDF drivers available for DOS, so once you have burned a DVD, you might not be able to read it under DOS. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Both CDRecord and CDRKit are available for DOS and work as long as a driver called aspi.sys is installed. First you must create an ISO image, and then you can use a program like cdrecord to burn it.

It's probably a good idea to use the debugger to log what calls to int 0x21 occur between calling a command and the next prompt that occurs.

[Freedos-user] Fwd: Announcement: New DOS USB Drivers
Anyone these days using UHCI? -- Forwarded message -- From: Bret Johnson Date: Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 6:49 AM Subject: Announcement: New DOS USB Drivers To: bretj...@juno.com Good day to you. My name is Bret Johnson, and I write DOS TSR programs. I am sending this e-mail to you because you have contacted me in the past regarding at least one of my DOS programs, and I thought you might be interested in knowing that I have just released some DOS USB drivers for testing. These drivers are completely different (and hopefully better) than any other DOS USB drivers that are currently available. There are drivers for USB keyboards, mice, joysticks, printers, and disk drives. Unfortunately, the the drivers have some limitations, and may not work with your current hardware. They host drivers will currently only work with USB host controllers that use the UHCI protocol, which are made by Intel and Via Technologies. Support for other host controller manufacturers will be added in the future. If you're interested, please go to my web site (http://bretjohnson.us), download the files, and let me know what you think. If you're not interested, I apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you want me to remove you from my contact list regarding DOS programs.

Re: [Freedos-user] A windows 9x replacement...
> I know about ReactOS, ReactOS is garbage right now. It will probably be > garbage for 2-3 more years. Realistically, writing a Windows 9x replacement for FreeDOS would take years, probably more than 2 or 3 because developers are hard to find and it's a huge project, probably (correct me if I'm wrong) even more challenging than writing a dos kernel. And FreeDOS's kernel has been in development for much longer than 2 or 3 years and still isn't 100% compatible to MS-DOS.

No, it is still illegal. That is like saying "it's only stealing if I get caught" or "I stole a laptop from my friend but he doesn't use it so it's ok".

In reality, though, linux filesystem drivers have been using this method of accessing/writing long filenames for years; if Microsoft were to go after an operating system, it would be linux first. And as Eric pointed out to me, they seem to go more after embedded devices that use long filenames on FAT filesystems.

Even kernel support would have some of those issues, it seems only "not very fast" and "risk to crosslink files or trash the filesystem (ask A.P.)" (I have never experienced this) apply. Overall I would recommend doslfn if you want to use long filenames. Kernel support would be nice, but for the most part I think only speed would improve.

> Now then, the Linux version depends on specific Linux only C > libraries. I need to know what the equivalent libraries are > under Freedos and as necessary I will need to recode if the > dos equivalent library is different. O.K. It looks like it depends at least on pthreads, curses, termios, and linux-specific tty devices. Often (as is the case with curses), linux C libraries are available under FreeDOS with DJGPP; they are the same libraries, just re-compiled (DJGPP has a fairly POSIX-compatible c-library, it is somewhat comparable to cygwin on Windows.. Curses is easy, pdcurses is available for 16-bit or 32-bit DOS. Also ncurses is available for DJGPP. If you plan on implementing it with GEM, you would likely want to replace the parts that depend on curses with GEM-equivalent functions (curses does all of the screen-manipulation). If you plan on a 32-bit port (GEM has djgpp bindings IIRC), termios is available in the c-library to manipulate the screen and also there are pthreads libraries available for djgpp. But if termios is used to manipulate the serial ports as well, you would need to implement a file-system extention (see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/libc/libc_321.html for a description) to handle serial devices as well as screen devices (and maybe also create your own termios interface to serial ports). The file-system extention would probably suffice to access linux-specific tty devices. If you plan on a 16-bit port, pthreads (a multi-threading library), would be a challenge to implement (but likely possible), and termios would be possible to implement, but I don't think there exists a termios-compatible library for 16-bit DOS. termios probably wouldn't be too difficult to implement for 16-bit DOS. Accesses to linux-specific tty devies would have to be replaced with DOS-equivalent functionality. Overall, it's a decently-sized job. Plus if you don't know how to write GEM applications, you would have to learn that as well. -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

I'm pretty sure that the cdrecord included with FD 1.0 had DVD support IIRC.

[Freedos-user] XGCDROM and CD/DVD Recording
>> points to the 7zip: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/xgcdrm24.7z > > Would this driver work for recording? on any drive? > > Maybe I am just daydreaming :) No you're not :-). First, I compiled the latest version of cdrtools (the current one is way outdated), which is cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD 2.01.01a58. Then, I discovered that some linux distributions forked cdrtools because of licencing issues, so I decided to try their fork (www.cdrkit.org) and successfully compiled that. Note that genisoimage (mkisofs-equivalent in cdrkit) for some reason requires -allow-limited-size to be able to create any isos (this is a bug). So to test I loaded xgcdrom.sys, then oakaspi.sys (ASPI over ATAPI driver; http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/bcdw/aspi.sys) Then I created a test ISO with genisoimage -J -allow-limited-size -o test.iso testdir... Then I executed wodim test.iso. At the end of recording wodim spit out an error message about not closing the session or something, so I pressed Ctrl-C twice and it ended the wodim execution. I then manually ejected the DVD and re-insterted it. When I did dir d:\, all of the files in the ISO were present, and I was able to successfully read the files on the DVD. So it works, but there are bugs (most likely in cdrkit). Soon I will also test the cdrecord I compiled (I already tested mkisofs, which does not require -allow-limited-size as genisoimage does). Perhaps cdrecord will not require Ctrl-C to end the execution; who knows. Note that I do not know whether the drive I tested on is SATA or not. Perhaps also wodim has options that will cause it to execute correctly. I'll let someone else more familiar with these utilities do the testing :-). Does anybody have an opinion as to which is better? (cdrkit vs. cdrtools) Do I have any willing testers for other drives?

The CD-ROM contains a boot floppy image which is emulated to be a floppy drive by the BIOS or in this case isolinux. The boot floppy image has to load a cd-rom driver to access the files on the rest of the CD-ROM, and it would seem that XCDROM isn't compatible with your cd-rom drive. With the USB thumb drive, it might be possible to set it up to boot FreeDOS, and use shsucdrd (I think that's the one) to load the iso file as a drive, and then install from there. > > Ray > > -- > Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA > -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise > -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation > -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD > http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H > ___ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user > -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] Poll and ideas compressed filesystem
On this topic, I've compiled dmsdosfs 0.9.2.3-pre2 with DJGPP and had some success. the executables are mcdmsdos, dcread, and dmsdosfsck. I tested with a drvspace-compressed floppy created by MS-DOS and I can extract some files but not all from it. Earlier dmsdosfs versions also included an alpha mkdmsdosfs utility to create a compressed filesystem, but it was removed for some reason. I tested that also and it seems to need an existing compressed filesystem to be able to create new ones. I find it interesting that dmsdos is supposed to be able to read and write from doublespace, drivespace, drivespace 3, stacker 3, and stacker 4 drives. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

[Freedos-user] Dialog 1.1 for DOS
Just announcing that I've uploaded my port of Dialog 1.1 for DOS to ibiblio. It is compiled with ncurses and gpm, so it supports mouse. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Dialog is a popular program in unix for adding a TUI interface to shell scripts. The sources and binaries are uploaded to: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/menu/ as dialogx.zip (binary) and dialogs.zip (source) -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] FDAV 0.1
Hi. Just announcing an MSAV-like TUI I wrote for libclamav. This is mostly a preview version. Some features are missing, but I've tested it in a few environments and I've found that it works. So if anyone wants to give me feedback, feel free. Eventually it should have a help-file viewer, and a file/directory selection dialog. The source and binary packages are available at: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/ in fdavs.zip (source) and fdavx.zip (binary). To build the sources you will need dialog, ncurses, and clamav installed in your DJGPP-installation. And to install the the binary package you should first uninstall clamavx if you have it installed as it uses the same database files.

Yes; in a single-tasking environment, it is difficult to avoid using a temporary file for pipes, but you could also write a utility to read the boot device and set a variable in the *master* environment. I think a utility called mset is available in fdpkgx.zip which is able to set a variable in the master environment and the source code should be in fdpkgs.zip.

[Freedos-user] LZMA-Utils 4.32.7 Port
Hi. I just added a port of lzma-utils 4.32.7 to ibiblio.

Re: [Freedos-user] ClamAV & CTorrent

Nice work anyway ;-) /packages isn't necessary because fdpkg IIRC will create the directory anyway. Having the directory in the package is only needed if some post-install or pre-remove commands are necessary. Remember that I created it :-).

[Freedos-user] Fresh ClamAV/DJGPP Port
I have just uploaded to ibiblio: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamavs.zip (source) http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamavx.zip (binary) which contains a DOS port of ClamAV 0.92. Unlike previous ports, this one contains four tools: clamconf, clamscan, freshclam, and sigtool. Clamscan is tested and works well, and is compiled to support all kinds of archives. Because of my lack of internet connectivity, freshclam is untested and I would appreciate testers. If anyone has internet working with FreeDOS, simply use fdpkg to install clamavx.zip and run freshclam. It should automatically find its configuration file and download the latest database. Also, I would like some input. Should a recent virus database be included in the package, or should this be left to the user to download? -- Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.

just adding my two cents, but there is already a directory on ibiblio with all of the 1.0 packages: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs On 11/30/07, Florian Xaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you!!
