Ah - I still have my MagnaRAM diskette around somewhere - (also had RAMgate) - 
loved that on my AU$400, second-hand 486DX running Win3.1, circa 1995. With 
PlannetCrafters enhanced GUI software (last seen on Vetusware, IIRC), I felt 
that my setup was so smooth I had no need to upgrade to Win98 etc 'til after 
2000! Them were the days :)

Hi Eric:


One of your pictures shows MagnaRAM:

How did you like it, in Win3 / Win95 actually?

I doubt that I ever installed it.  Like I said, a lot of that stuff was 
acquired because it looked like it might be useful.  Most I ever got 
around to playing with.

One of your pictures shows MagnaRAM:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMM#MagnaRAM

WinWorld says "MagnaRAM, from Quarterdeck Corporation,
is a utility that speeds up virtual memory swapping by
compressing swap memory, maintaining a swap "buffer",
and making use of unused disk cache memory.

Unlike some similar products, this one reportedly does
something. It competed against similar tools such as
SoftRam, Hurricane, and RAM Doubler."

How did you like it, in Win3 / Win95 actually?

SoftRAM is the one which later turned out to be fake.

At least in Germany, "retro" people pay a lot on eBay for DOS software.
But mostly for games. Maybe worth a try.

Otherwise putting the manuals to Internet Archive and/or bitsavers.org
would be great.

At the same time you write this message, I successfully read a 1994 3.5"
disk from a German book about Borland/Turbo Pascal 7.0. ;-)
But you're right. Not *all* software will probably work.

Now I'm thinking about temporarily resurrecting my old PC with a 5.25"
floppy disk drive to read two other disks from books.

Hi.

Thanks for the feedback.

Jim, if the FreeDOS MediaWiki can also be used to create the DOS software
catalog, I will help from time to time.
I can try to make pages for:
- Software
- Authors
- Companies
For the Software pages I will do a similar categorization (subcategories)
like the OS2World wiki.  (
https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Software)
Also maybe making a wiki template for applications with general
information.

Let me know if it can be possible.

We don't have something like this for all the formerly-proprietary
applications that have released their code as open source. But there
haven't been many of those, unfortunately. I contact companies every few
months to ask about releasing the source code to their old DOS products.
The answer is too often "No" - mostly because they do not have the full
sources to the old DOS product they stopped maintaining in the mid-to-late
1990s. A few times the "No" was because they knew (or suspected) the DOS
application used licensed 3rd party stuff and they didn't want to go
through the effort to clean it up and remove the 3rd party stuff - too much
risk for no reward.

When the answer is "No" I instead ask if they will release the program as
"free/gratis" software, like TRIUS did with As-Easy-As spreadsheet.
Sometimes they are willing to do that.

We used to have a central source hub for many FreeDOS projects, long ago,
but the coordination between developers kind of dwindled as some folks
dropped off and others picked up code, and we don't have a central source
code hub anymore. Which is unfortunate.

I did similar for some DOS software, but didn't create a collection.

I already thought about something like that several month ago, but still
didn't start, because I still didn't define the scope:
- I wanted to start with the shareware archives, e.g., SimTel.Net.
- I had the idea of creating it in German language only, because that's
my native language.

So far, I just setup an empty PmWiki installation. (In contrast to
MediaWiki, PmWiki needs no database. It stores anything in text files.)

Would be nice, but as of today nobody else seems to care.
But maybe I'll start it anyway.

Cheers,
Robert

[Freedos-user] DOS Software Catalog? Open sourcing DOS Apps?

2020-06-01 Thread Martin Iturbide
Hi

I'm new here. I'm part of the ArcaOS, eComStation and OS/2 Warp community
called OS2World.com. Even that we are different communities and different
operating systems, we have a group of people that have interest in
different DOS software apps since OS/2 has its DOS VDM (and Win-OS2).

I had been contacting OS/2 developers that no longer support their software
and asked them to open source their software. Sometime I have luck,
sometimes not, but I have been consolidating the source code on Github for
some years now.
https://github.com/os2world

1) I was wondering if in the DOS or FreeDOS community had been any similar
effort.

2) I also want to know if there some sites or a general community site like
a wiki with a catalog of open source, close source, new, old  DOS software.
I know there are several sites of DOS games, but it seem there are no much
sites that their goal is to have the DOS applications catalog.

For example I have one created for but OS/2 on a MediaWiki
(https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Software)

@FreeDOS on twitter recommended me this link:
https://www.freedos.org/links/
But I can not find the catalog of the crazy people that want to include all
DOS possible :)

My interest is OS/2 but I want to know if there are some similar efforts on
the DOS community to see if we can join some efforts.

Regards

[Freedos-user] DOS software

2012-04-17 Thread jasse...@itelefonica.com.br
On 9 april Bernd Blaauw bbla...@home.nl said:

muPDF was ported a while ago, listed on BTTR forums somewhere.

 muPDF is a Windows program that will (at least its non-graphics
parts) run under Japheth's HX DOS extender, in a powerful enough
machine.  Since the minimum requirements to do so are much like 
the minimum to run Windows 98, DOS here has the same role as the 
stone in the stone soup...

I'm not sure of DILLO's capabilities.

 No javascript yet.
 
No idea what a dxf file would be, guess there's always ancient AutoCAD.

 dxf is a file format supported by AutoDesk for exchange of files
between different brands of CAD. Since other makers cracked the 
dwg format it lost much of its importance, but is still the only 
widely supported CAD format with freely available full documentation. 

 AFAIK AutoCAD for DOS can be found now only as illegal copies and 
in an April Fools' story that circulated in some forums.

And it won't get it for some time.  The devs need to add a lot more
DOM support before thinking about it.
