I think you mean 16 bit. 8 bit is usually used to refer to predecessor micros running things like CP/M. Technically, the 8088 CPU DOS used 20 bit addressing, with a total address space of 1MB. The PC reserved memory over 640KB for the system, resulting in the infamous 640KB RAM limit, and various convolut4ed methods of getting around it. There are an assortment of places you can still get old DOS software. A lot of open source code is collected in the FreeDOS repository, at http://www.freedos.org/software/ Other useful DOS sites include: Klaus Meinhard's 4DOS Info site, primarily devoted to the 4DOS COMMAND.COM replacement bundled with FreeDOS, but with links to other DOS sites http://www.4dos.info/ Doctor DOS Betamax, an attempt at a comprehensive DOS information and link site http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/DOS-Head.html Free Software for DOS - An archived version of a site originally created by Richard Green, and subsequently taken over and expanded by the late Steve Adelewitz. http://www.bttr-software.de/freesoft/ Free Software for DOS - After Steve's death, Richard Green resurrected his original site http://reimagery.com/fsfd/index.htm There are an assortment of other collections of old DOS software out there, and Google is your friend. (A lot is of questionable value now, as it was originally issued as shareware, but can no longer be registered to get full working copies.) Old DOS software still runs in a console window in the virtual DOS session under Windows through Win XP. (and Win7 if you have a 3w2 bit copy of it.) IT will not run on current 64 bit machines with 64 bit versions of Windows, because support was dropped for 16 bit applications. To run them, you need to run a virtual machine like Virtual Box, and run the 16 bit apps in it. . __ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Try all available patches until one works for you. Admittedly, they don't all work perfectly in all circumstances.

(IIRC, only BP7 [and/or TP7??] had this bug, so TP55 doesn't need it unless manually using CRT's Delay or such.) 4). Rebuild with a different compiler (FPC, GPC, TMT, etc.), if you have access to the sources. This may not be that feasible (huge understatement), but it's definitely the overall better way. (No offense, but giving up and moving to Linux and GCC is hardly a solution to anything. I mean, that's an overreaction, IMO, to things which are minor bugs.) 5).

The kernel itself only directly supports FAT. Anything else (AFAIK, and I'm no expert) has to come from a loadable driver using the redirector interface, e.g. ISO9660 (CD) via UIDE.SYS (or VIDE, OAKCDROM, whatever) + MSCDEX / NWCDEX / SHSUCDX. All modern file systems do. That's great, but there aren't enough skilled volunteers (plus zero funding) to do this for FreeDOS. It's not impossible, just unpopular and thus unlikely. The only feature that I need is extended attributes, so I don't care about journaling or other features. As mentioned, you'll probably have to do it manually, e.g. use DESCRIPT.ION files from 4DOS or maybe something more detailed with other tools. P.S. Of course since it's unprotected (real) mode, you can also just write an .EXE to do your direct sector reads / writes. This is also how many DOS programs access lower-level file systems that aren't directly supported by DOS. For instance, FreeDOS 1.0 (2006) had several such programs: hfsutil, ihpfs, ltools, ntfs (though I don't see TestDisk, but that's yet another one). P.P.S. I vaguely recall (but never tried) that there used to be such a (shareware?) DOS driver from Paragon Software [EDIT: IFSDRV?] that could read ext2 and some others. A quick check doesn't find any obvious links on their website except a mention of (presumably the successor product) Rescue Kit 11 Free Edition (which doesn't mention DOS explicitly, but it is a bootable, platform independent recovery CD). If you wish to download that and check, you might find it (possible but unlikely, dunno). Maybe someone else on this list knows more about the old shareware driver, but I dunno beyond that. -- Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.

At risk of stating the obvious, FreeDOS is free to modify, but support can only improve if someone decides to volunteer to do it. Presumably that would have to be a semi-fluent Japanese speaker with either a software background or else heavy sympathy for DOS. Until (or if ever) that happens, you're stuck with making do with what already exists (or doing without, I guess). I don't personally know enough (and literally nothing about .jp) to volunteer much for that, so all I can do is search around. While not all Americans are monolingual, the majority (like me) seem to be, due to lacking any direct reason to be otherwise. Nevertheless, I do have some (very small) curiosity and interest in other languages, so it's not like I'm totally content to say or do nothing. So you want to edit Japanese text? Dunno, can't try myself, but can you try one of the following DOS software and report back? GNU Emacs (23.3) or Mined (2013.23) or Blocek (1.4) http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/current/v2gnu/em2303b.zip http://www.towo.net/mined/ http://laaca.sweb.cz/ The first two are text mode only but have their own input methods for other languages. This means you can edit anything, but it won't directly represent 1:1 on the screen what you're reading or typing. Blocek is graphical for UTF-8 and requires a mouse (but I think it relies on KEYB supporting your language input), but I dunno how full the fonts are for your needs. Text mode is usually limited in hardware to 256 glyphs (although 512 is allegedly possible, but I don't know of any specific programs using it). A quick search implies that FreeDOS doesn't support DBCS (which other DOSes do??). Dunno what that even means in concrete terms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBCS I'm assuming you know more about the Japanese language than I do! :-) A quick search on Wikipedia shows three major writing styles (kanji, hiragana, katakana), not counting romaji (romanization of Japanese). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaji FD KEYB does support Japanese, apparently, in KEYBOARD.SYS (see KPDOS31S.ZIP's jp106.txt and jp.key), but it's for cp932, which AFAIK doesn't exist for FreeDOS proper. Though DOSLFN also has a cp932uni.tbl translation file. http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP932.TXT But even the relevant 8-bit (256) chars mentioned there only seem to be the standard 7-bit ASCII and only some upper 8-bit chars from katakana, which sounds somewhat limiting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana In contrast to the hiragana syllabary, which is used for those Japanese language words and grammatical inflections which kanji does not cover, the katakana syllabary is primarily used for transcription of foreign language words into Japanese and the writing of loan words (collectively gairaigo). It is also used for emphasis, to represent onomatopoeia, and to write certain Japanese language words, such as technical and scientific terms, and the names of plants, animals, and minerals. Names of Japanese companies are also often written in katakana rather than the other systems. Apparently there are various Romaji methods, and one in particular seems to be Kunrei-shiki, standardized in ISO 3602, although Wikipedia seems to imply that modified Hepburn is used more frequently. All Japanese who have attended elementary school since World War II have been taught to read and write romanized Japanese. Therefore, almost all Japanese are able to read and write Japanese using rōmaji, although it is extremely rare in Japan to use this method to write Japanese, and most Japanese are more comfortable reading kanji/kana. So a copout (from a FreeDOS perspective) would be to say, Just use romaji. But from what I can tell, the kana (hiragana, katakana) comprise 48 characters each (total 96). However, Kanji is much larger and our biggest obstacle. Even Joyo kanji is 2136 kanji: 1006 taught in primary school, 1130 taught in secondary school. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dy%C5%8D_kanji Even if we were to restrict to that (2136 + 96), that would be a mouthful. But I guess it depends how low (or high) you want to go with support. -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.

The only major caveat would be to make sure that you aren't trying to preserve LFNs since almost all XCOPY clones don't support that. Not sure about Win9x nor whether XCOPY32 or whatever would work better. (If you did need LFNs preserved, it would maybe be better to use GNU / DJGPP cp -r or some third-party version like xWCopy.) The other minor problem would be speed, but I'm not sure what would work best. (Presumably loading UIDE, cache + Ultra DMA, would help the most.) I haven't ever really needed to try, so I'm not much help here, but there are other variants like ZCOPY or XXCOPY or whatever. At least one of them (probably ZCOPY) used XMS.

Maybe some of these, at least, can be emulated for fun to show potential developers some esthetic potential. Don't expect the latter. FreeDOS is a 16 bit application, intended to be compatible with MS-DOS. I don't expect it to ever become a 32 bit application. The OS is single-user and single tasking, Early DOS applications like WordStar and Lotus 1,2,3 were character mode, running in a console. Things like GUIs run as applications on top of DOS, and mouse support is implemented by a loadable driver installed in CONFIG.SYS. (Windows 1.X - 3.X and Win95 were multitasking shells running on top of DOS, and protected mode and multitaking support were implemented by the application. Win98 used DOS as a real mode loader for Windows as the OS, and once Windows was loaded, DOS was out of the loop.) MS-DOS originated on X86 CPUs that had a 1MB address space, of which 640KB was available to user programs. Memory above 1MB was made available by as XMS by HIMEM.SYS and EMS by EMM386.SYS, but not all applications could use it. Protected mode was not implemented by MS-DOS, (I use XMS in FreeDOS, and have drivers that make is available as a RAMdisk and disk cache.) FreeDOS can't even be run in a current system without jumping through hoops. Under 32 bit Windows (2K/XP/32 bit Win7) you can run 16 bit DOS applications (but not the FreeDOS kernel) in a console window. To run DOS itself you must boot into it using something like Grub. 64 bit Windows removed support for 16 bit applications, and you must either boot into FreeDOS directly, or run it or other 16 bit applications in a virtual machine like MS's, VMWare, or Virtual Box. It's a decent embedded system for low resource X86 based devices, as long as multitasking is not a requirement. Aside from Gem as base for a GUI you might also look at FLTK, which has a port that works under FreeDOS. Good luck on touch support: that's another thing that would require a driver to support it, and none exist.

DOSBox has its own DOS and doesn't use FreeDOS. Unless you're thinking of BOOT? Rpix86 presumably means something like QEMU on Raspberry PI. (QEMU still has various bugs regarding segmentation, probably since it's not needed for Linux emulation.) Is it because of the XCDROM.SYS ? I'm no expert here, but aren't SATA CD drives acting as some kind of 'emulated IDE' ? Or does it mean that the boot image would need a special SATA driver, and some detection logic to load the right driver? This starts to sound complicated :P Yes, and a lack of DOS drivers for various controllers/interfaces is the main culprit. The CD driver works for IDE and for SATA in legacy mode. Now imagine having only an USB CD drive on a system. (or something emulating it, like a Zalman hdd-caddy, or ISOSTICK) Didn't someone integrate eltorito.sys into isolinux a few years ago?

From: rugx...@gmail.com javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'rugx...@gmail.com');
Since you already mentioned very old floppies, does this mean some
of your machines don't have (the appropriately-sized) floppy drives?
Yes, exactly. I didn't elaborate earlier, but that is the case. By
floppies, I'm referring to the 3.5 1.44mb ones although, I even have a
few of the 5.25 variety. Some of the 5.25 are 360k, but most of them are
1.2mb. At least I don't have any 160k or 80k types. When the 80k 160k
were being used, I was probably using cassette tapes. I can say one good
thing about the old data cassette tapes: they made floppy drives seem
really fast! :) I was so glad to finally be able use floppies vs tapes!
After I eventually got one, I thought HDs were so much superior than
floppies, speed-wise. (oops! I was daydreaming of the'old' days again)
You're right though, I have 3 modern PCs with Win 7 on them, none of which
have a floppy drive controller. So, I resurrected an older PC that does
have a floppy controller. It's a P-III 733mhz that used to run Win 98 back
in he late 90s. I must say, running old DOS software on the 733 is so much
faster than what I used to run DOS in! I think the latter DOS days were on
a 486-66 or maybe it was the 386-40(not sure), though early on I started on
an 8088, 2 360k floppies, no HD, monochrome (my first 'clone' PC).
Usually you can insert a USB jump drive before turning on (booting)
and the BIOS should emulate it as a DOS drive for you, assuming it's
formatted as (some variant of) FAT (-16, -32).
OK, thanks! I didn't think of that. I'm not 100% sure, but I bet I
plugged in the flash drive _after_ booting as per Win!
If not, you have to try something like Bret's USB drivers (and your
machine must support UHCI)
Sorry, what's UHCI?
or (from modern Windows) try the RUFUS
(bootable DOS USB) installer.
http://www.bretjohnson.us/
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
thanx
So from old machine to new machine? Old machine has floppy but new
doesn't? I assume you don't (or can't or won't) have networking on the
old machine (understandable! frustrating!). If you did (maybe even
with mTCP + packet driver), that'd be one way.
You're right on all counts. I thought about using an ethernet network
since the Win 7 PCs have it but wanted to avoid that headache if
possible... :)
Otherwise, you have to have some drive (hard? floppy?) to install /
use with the other machine.
I do have a USB floppy drive that _could_ work. Using a flash drive
would be a lot easier though.
In fact, if you can get USB drive working,
you can copy files to and from that with ease. This is probably easier
than constantly burning a CD-RW or whatever.
I was thinking by using CDs, though, I would benefit by having a good
back-up and storage would be much more compact, (650mb vs 1.44mb). Storage
space is now a consideration for me especially since floppies are now
obsolete?
There might be unofficial (buggy?) builds of cdrkit for DOS. I can't
remember the name or version of that alleged DOS (freeware?) CD
burning program, and I'm not sure how well it worked. IIRC, the main
problem was lacking an ASPI.SYS driver, which is proprietary (closed
source, not free nor libre). Hence I don't think FreeDOS proper ships
with such a thing (maybe they had an optional .BAT to use wget to grab
it back in the day, dunnno ...).
Thanx, for the tips!At least I have some direction to go in now! :)
A lot of peripherals depends on decent drivers. I think this is the
main problem (or advantage) with any OS these days. This is one big
reason why people stick to Linux or Windows. Unfortunately, DOS isn't
always supported (well, if at all) by hardware companies. Not trying
to be overly pessimistic, but it's the cold hard truth.
I agree.

There used to be a ton of GUIs out there. It seemed for a time that
everyone's pet project was some sort of GUI for FreeDOS. Often, a developer
would start a project, bring it to a proof of concept stage, then it
would go stale as the developer moved on to other things. So I stopped
tracking them on the FreeDOS website, but we did mirror those projects that
continued to make releases.

I know this code is very simple and meaningless, but it's an example of how I
am having stack overflow problems with static arrays of size 8192.
Excuse me if the mail is too off-topic, but I think the problem is something
to do with memory.

why install win98?if the computer is specd for it, install freedos, and then install ubuntu and dual boot between the two. and use wine for windows stuff.

It was originally written in Turbo C for DOS, and reads/writes to disk using DOS (not BIOS) calls. (BTW, which Turbo C version? Some here still use it.) So it's not NTFS that is bothering you, nor 32-bit NTVDM, just the lack of VESA support? It runs in 256 palletized colors on a 640x480 console. I don't know jack about graphics, honestly. But IIRC the normal BIOS only supports 640x480x16 (16 colors?) or some such. It couldn't be too too hard to adjust to running in fewer colors (although not ideal) e.g. under WinXP. And/or you could just resize your .PCX image files, etc. While running, it frequently reads image files off disk, and for that reason won't fit on (or reliably run from) a floppy. I want to share it with friends such that all they have to do is insert a CD and boot up. But how much total storage do you need? More than 1.4 MB? You could uncompress it from physical floppy to RAM disk if speed is an issue. It's not that floppies are so great, but they've been around forever and have fairly good support and are fairly simple to use, modify, emulate, etc. Having said that, I've tried DosBox, just for my own purposes. My program runs very slowly in it, no matter what settings I use; notepad dosbox-0.74.conf (change memsize=16 to memsize=32 if desired) (change core=auto to core=dynamic) (try again) (revert changes or use a separate .conf for certain projects) I'll admit it can be fairly slow, but it's mostly for popular games. In fact, it's only for games, as the devs often admit. But Doom and Quake (mostly) run perfectly fine under it, etc. etc. Since your game is an actual game, you could always post on the DOSBox forum (Vogons / ZetaFleet or whatever) and bug the devs to fix it for you. Assuming you're willing to share with them also. I know you don't like emulators (who does?), but when they work, they work well. And DOSBox is small and easy to use (and GPL). and for some reason the graphics palette does not get reset properly. I've downloaded VM too, but haven't tried that yet, and for reasons already mentioned I probably won't. Well, the point is that DOSBox is a natural solution for DOS gaming. Of course, it's not a real DOS, per se, but it works pretty well. However, if you're unwilling to hack at it some more in cooperation with DOSBox devs, then you'll have to find another way. It's not that booting a CD is bad, but sometimes people like not having to reboot (and lose network access, background processes, etc.) just to play a game. The DFSee CD image that someone else recommended looks like something I can modify for my purposes. I've already booted off of that and confirmed that the game runs well...here at home, anyway. And it seems to detect and do i/o on my FAT32 partition just fine. NTFS? I'll worry about that later. The problem with NTFS is moreso in the overhead, both memory and storage, not to mention its inherent security that is underdocumented on purpose (and of course several internal revisions). XP is the last Windows to boot natively off of a FAT file system.

There are a couple fixes out there to make VESA modes work for DOS

The bootable CD images that I've been seeing for FreeDOS and DOS 7.1 are
all *installation* disks that first fake a floppy drive and then load a
bootable floppy disk image that cannot be edited.
If your program can run from a floppy, perhaps you could add it to the
bootable image. Use a program like winimage, or write the image to a
diskette, copy your program to it, then create a new image from there.

It's my very first post to the list, so greetings for all. I've finished the 2.3 version of Destroy. It's a file wiper program, that overwrites your files several times, and deletes them. Therefore, nobody will be able to undelete your files. Yes, every file wipers can do that, but mine offers several additional options. (Run with /? to list them.) The destroyable files can be specified by - filemask (of course) - attributes - size - time By default, Destroy overwrites your files only once with 0 characters, but in V2.3, it's possible to overwrite files more times, using different characters. Run the program with /?D to list the several destroy levels. It's even possible to set the program to don't overwrite your files, just delete them. This option is suitable for users who would only like to use the program's filtering options. (For example, I'll use that to get rid of my very old and irrelevant IRC logs.) Of course, the program is under GNU GPLv3 license. At the moment, the software is only accessible from a temporarily-created GogglePages website, since the server of my main website is down at the moment. :( http://megabrutal.googlepages.com/home I'd like to ask your opinion about the software.

Re: [Freedos-user] Partition layout
All labels are unique and contain the drive letter. Do you consider DOS, W2K and Warp4 to be obscure? Also every partition has a directory of the form 1_Name_X where X is the drive letter. The one forces it to sort at the top. So from any HDD utility or directory listing I know the physical position of each partition. The users self identity on a computer should not be intricately related to the OS that is in use. WARP4, W2K, DOS? what does that say about the *content* stored by that user? I have an additional challenge. All my HDDs are front panel plug-in. So I have to give each HDD a unique ID that is seen by HDD utilities. If I was cloning or cleaning a drive and got it reversed that would not be good. I have had a HDD utility swap drives 1 and 2 on it's display. Harddrive serial make and model or variant of such is what I use, that way I can see that yes it is from that seagate and not the western digital..

Re: [Freedos-user] Partition layout
Better to label your drive volumes to something other than obscure or drive letters, like DATA, or your name. that way when you in a fdisk program or other OS you can see what is what and not cause an accident.

Extra (more than one) primary partition get a letter after all extended partitions. *That*is*the*rule*. If you boot Win98 or MS-DOS or FreeDOS from the second (physical order) primary partition, the other primary will also get the last letter.

Re: [Freedos-user] new dos network driver collection, sioux free dos web server
http://www.aotksc.com/img-bin/f-x747w.jpg - Original Message From: Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 11:36:07 AM Subject: [Freedos-user] new dos network driver collection, sioux free dos web server Hi all, forwarding some good news from Georg Potthast :-) Because many people still use Ghost, you can still find network drivers for new hardware online. As it is easier to find ODI (and NDIS) drivers for Windows3 and Netware than to find plain DOS packet drivers, you can use for example odipkt based on dune.pol.lublin.pl/pub/pc/odipkt/odipkt13.asm to turn ODI into packet drivers. Georg has collected modern drivers and, where needed, bundled them with odipkt and sample batch files to load the drivers. His page also saves you from downloading large ZIPs which include Windows 9x drivers - you only get what you need for DOS :-). Note that you do NOT get the source code. The drivers are from the manufacturers, not from an open source initiative like http://www.crynwr.com/ ... The drivers work well with his new freeware DOS webserver :-). Here is what Georg writes: Hi Eric, many DOS TCP/IP applications rely on a packet driver. These packet drivers are difficult to find for the computers in use today. To support the use of TCP/IP with DOS, I have compiled a collection of [network] packet drivers for DOS. If you need a packet driver for more recent PCs which are not included in the crynwr collection you will probably find it here: http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/packet.htm These packet drivers can also be used with my Sioux Web Server for DOS which you can find here: http://www.georgpotthast.de/sioux/ Sioux is a new Web Server for DOS which is based on a packet driver and the trumpet NTCPDRV. It features: - HTTP web server sending HTML pages and other files on requests by standard web browsers. - server log of all requests - configurable web page directory - sends directory listing if index.htm page is not found in subdirectory - supports GET, HEAD and POST methods - CGI support with POST and GET - multiple domains - DYNDNS client SIOUX is free to use.

Re: [Freedos-user] Installed on top of WinMe: system unusable.
3) Two crashes in the first two minutes: No crashes since the re-install. My conclusion is that FreeDOS can't easily share a parition with Win9x. Real mode msdos was discontinued in WinMe/NT/2k/XP. The problm I had when installing freedos on an existing win partition is that it had tendancy to load wrong files (command.com), and had to set path and move things around a bit to make it work good. I do not recommend installing freedos on same partiton as windows, but recommend install dos first,then windows as a second partition then linux on remaining disk space. (triboot) ocymmv. I wiped the WinMe partition and installed FreeDOS from scratch. Hopefully you didnt lose your personal data dirs, one thinking about is a nas server for the network and schedule daily backups it. --chris http://nxdos.souceforge.net/ Need a vacation?

But of course it is always good to remember that we have to remind ourselves to write good code in open source. Because we are not paid for FreeDOS, there is no quality control dept either.

I have a Dell laptop, with a P3 500MHz processor, and 512 MB ram, but the display is broken. The computer still works, so I want to do something with it. Then I came up with this (crazy?) idea of integrating it into a portable stereo that I have pulled apart, and making this stereo a MP3 player. I know how I want to implement the motherboard to the stereo (I think). My question to you all: is freedos a good OS to use in this situation? I want quick start-up and shut-down times, and I understand DOS does. Almost immediate. I plan on removing all unnecessary parts of the laptop, which are the screen (obvious, as it is broken), and the mouse, and keyboard(?). Can freedos run without the keyboard? For controls, I am thinking of using the serial port with a 4X4 keypad or something like that. I know the basics of programming in C++, and think that I can implement the serial port, and have it command the MP3 player. Maybe some automatic start-up, or something.
