[Freedos-user] VCS for freedos

2007-08-20 Thread Prasad Mehendale
Is there any free/freeware VCS (version control system) available which will work on FreeDos? Also an editor with built-in VCS will do (like emacs!) I have heard that djgpp comes with this facility. If so, can I use the feature to develop embedded system software? Thanks. --prasad mehendale ---

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

There is an added trick, it made the difference for me: with GRUB,you can 1) change the active partition before starting it. That is that I use to select hda1=FreeDOS and hda2=Win98 2) you can swap whole partitions around, this is usefull when you have a WinXT that was instaled as hda1 and now h
