Hi! I could imagine that Clipper relies on file locking a
lot (SHARE driver) and it may need a suitable version of
that. Working with diskimage drives exclusive to DOS may
work better OR worse than working with drives which are
emulated out of host operating system directories here,
depending on
I mentioned that I haven't used Clipper so I am making some guesses here. I
can't help with #4 because I don't use Clipper. Maybe someone else can
answer that.
I think Clipper is doing a lot of file I/O, which is not surprising because
I know Clipper was originally used to create database-driven

I have several issues with using the Clipper program directly from the C:
drive.
1. Unzipping everything (459 files) to the C: drive took awhile.
2. It appears to be a bit slower than if I ran the clipper program in a
Command Prompt of a real Windows 7 32-bit system (not virtual
I haven't used Clipper so I'll have to let someone else debug that one for
you.
However, I *sometimes* have had problems running programs that require a
lot of I/O from the mapped drive. Not sure if QEMU just gets confused with
a lot of I/O on the mapped drive, because it's basically emulating a
Jim Hall, thanks a lot for suggesting QEMU. I added a line similar to your
-drive file=fat:rw:/home/jhall/dos
and I was able to access the desired directory in an NTFS partition of the
hard drive.
However, in that directory is an old Clipper program and I could not get it
to run in the virtual
I don't use Linux but really should. Why can't some of their
people update FREEDOS. I think the old NTFS was readable
but they made updates that made it more of a mystery.
cheers

NTFS & exfat are microsoft inventions. Not many people understand NTFS
much less be able to read it with non microsoft software. I think its
impossible to copy NTFS systems without microsoft help.
If you are good with tools like I am; you could set up a non virtual
system to run Freedos and any

Hi Jim and AM,
1. FreeDOS cannot read NTFS.
However, there are non-open-source tools for DOS in general which
let you access files on older NTFS filesystems, for example Avira
NTFS4DOS from 2007, may access Windows 2003 or older filesystems.
FreeDOS can read variations of the FAT
Hi. My answer is in 2 parts:
1. FreeDOS cannot read NTFS. FreeDOS can read variations of the FAT
filesystem, including FAT32. But cannot read NTFS or extfs.
2. An operating system running inside a PC emulator like VirtualBox cannot
access the direct hardware of the machine. It can only access
Yes, that is the correct list, but it didn't come through. When you send
something to the mailing list, you should get it in your own inbox when
it is forwarded from the list. If you did get that, then maybe something

Happy Hacking,

By the way, I emailed my question to freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net
about two days ago. Isn't that the address where I can send questions to?
Many thanks.

I don't see any question from you in my several years of email history,
so perhaps your question never made it to the list.
Furthermore, this is not a paid support line. Nobody here owes you an

knows an answer or is
What’s your question?
