Hi, Eric! Your changes to the Print command did increase printing dramatically and placed it on par with ms print! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop. N

Hi, Eric, all I've been busy with other tasks and haven't been able to travel to the one garage where FreeDOS is installed to test the requested changes to FreeDOS print. The power company here has been making some power feed changes -- and we had some systems get scrambled on the resulting powe

Okay, I tried print and printq with freedos and neither of them work like ms print. So, I'll use ms print until any freedos updates for print come around. I may try other dos flavors in the meantime but freedos does a fine job!

ly know that we're using a non-FreeDOS version of print but still... I can understand you not thinking that anybody would actually use "print" -- I rarely did, if ever, fifteen years ago when DOS was on every IBM desktop. Bernd Blaauw wrote: > Chris Ruhl schreef: > >

Hi all! First off, the recent improvements to JEMM386.EXE have made this memory manager workable for my hardware. I could not run with previous versions or the plain FreeDOS version! Excellent job! No more boot issues or system locks so far. The same is true with the DOSFSCK version 2.11c! Very

Hi, Eric Your 2.11c version is great! It's just what that utility needed to prevent confusion when using very large hard disks. I let 2.11b run overnight and it finished okay. The counter, at least, lets one know that it will take a l-o-n-g time to finish! Interesting twist on install routine:
