Do you think it is a good thing to change from faqtrak to wiki ? The original specs idea, will be done.

Only one question I forgot: Freedos will do separated distros for each country/language in the end, or just one big distro for all countries/languages?

RES: [Freedos-user] Re: Freeware: FileMaven (- laplink), CHK-SAFE (md5sum)
I have one sugestion as I have made before, but the only problem is that this program is not free. It's a program called wbat and creates Dialog boxes for DOS batch: * menus, buttons, input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, list selection Easy handling, no ANSI stuff to deal with - colors are specified by name. WBAT runs under all Windows versions or plain DOS. Features: * Layout for box with text and control elements - all elements can be freely arranged * Quick box with specifications in the command line * Selection from batch generated lists (e.g. DIR file lists) * Text pages with color attributes * INI file with defaults and preferences * Win NT/2000 compatible handling of variables Mouse handling is supported in a GUI box as well as in full screen mode. Of course WBAT will also work under plain DOS.

You can run one instance in host mode and then open a - connection from another FileMaven on another PC. Transfer uses serial - or parallel link cables (wiring instructions included). - * Yes it DOES support printer port, as LapLink. - - But DOS alike OS still miss some Killer Application such as - Peer-to-Peer swapping program such as Bit Torrent, the most vulnerable - part of DOS is the interpreter missing Long File Name support. - - You can install an LFN driver. And p2p stuff is mostly wasting bandwidth. - People are leeching like crazy, far more than they could conceivably USE - (you could say they download 50 hours of music each day...). I think this - should not be the world of FreeDOS. People who call this useful computer - use today will ask us tomorrow why they cannot click on PowderPoint in - DOS. - - To make use of long file names, you can then use a DOS version of BASH :- - ). - - EzNos also suffer from missing LFN. EzNos itself works fine on my - office Pentium 133 PC. - - EzNos supports at most 3 parallel connections, I think, and is a single - task. It can run on an 8086 with 5 MHz, too. If you want something real, - any 386 with at least 4 MB, better 16 MB, of RAM can run an Linux Apache - server. A very big part of the WWW today runs Apache. You are comparing - a lighter to a barbeque here. - - Even the famous MP3 encoder LAME don't have a latest DOS binary. - - So what - the old versions of LAME created MP3, too. Maybe slower and - worse quality, but still... If time matters, better use any multitasking - 32 bit OS, then you can do something else while encoding the MP3s. - - Another wonderful soft-synth TIMIDITY same ... - - A soft-synth is only useful for an OS where programs use drivers for - sound. - There are attempts to steal audio data from software, with help of - protected - mode, but that should be seen as a kludge (e.g. used in VIAFMTSR - Adlib/OPL3 - driver for DOS). Apart from that, DOS programs just access hardware - directly. - - Eric - - - --- - This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop - FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools! - Get your free copy of BEA WebLogic Workshop 8.1 today. - http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=4721alloc_id=10040op=click - ___ - Freedos-user mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

RES: [Freedos-user] catgets/gettext
Hi I have a few questions and I hope someone can answer. 1) All programs have catalogs of messages to be translated to other languages? (I have interest to translate all catalogs to Brazilian-Portuguese) 2)How can I know which programs have catalogs and what kind of catalogs are being used? 3)Freedos will be one distro for all languages/countries or maybe different distros for each country/language?

[Freedos-user] New distro
Hi My name is Carlos, i'm from Brazil, i love the project and I'm planing to make a distro for freedos, targeted for new developers and I would like to hear some opinions and here are my primary goals for the distro. 1 - A FreeDOS distro targeted for new developers. 2 - Similar to the BOCHS distro in - http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/old/be ta9rc4/specials/bochsfd9.zip 3 - Ready to run including bochs executable, latest bios files and config file. 4 - All the compilers you can REALLY use to make de executables, no matter the copyright the compilers have. 5 - Configuration scripts for l10n and i18n. What I have done so far: 1 - I have created na image file for bochs with 150 Mbs 2 - Filled the image with the packages of the FreeDOS CD distribution. 3 - I also have created a new tree estructure with: bin, hlp, key, cpi, src, doc, nfo, nls and tmp. C:. \---FDOS +---BIN | \---MOUSE | \---UTILITY +---CNF |+---(Batch files for configuration of the system) +---CPI |+---(all cpi files) +---DOC |+---(all the doc tree) +---HLP | \---HHSTNDRD +---KEY |+---(all keyboard mappinngs) +---NFO |+---(all lsm files) +---NLS |+---(all nls files) +---SRC |+---(all the source tree) \---TMP And that is it I would like to hear opinions and sugestions.
