What compatiblity exactly are you talking about? FreeDOS to hardware,
existing DOS-programs to FreeDOS or both?
Software: DOS 6.22 compatiblity is given, though someone can't say for
sure that a program, which has not been tested, will 100% work.
Hardware: I am experiencing some
partition, that also will work with 6.22. The
rest drive D:. This makes everything easier in case of reinstall. I do
it this way on my Pentium MMX. Everything stored on D:, system on C:

Tom, this is exactly what I said. To *support* round robin, not to do
round robin. Support in the meaning of helping someone/something with a

The is no described way to do what you want (or at least no that I know

Windows is able to create DOS partitions and format them (FAT16 for

I want to use the PIT (programmable interval timer,

It is definitely worth a try to look at all changelogs after your
working version of virtualbox until 6.0.
Maybe they changed something related to your networking configuration.
Once you've found something there or not, you could go also asking on
vbox list/forums. I assume there is more
Hi,
I have a short question about preloading text files for a user interface.
I have x buttons on screen and for each button there is a description
shown on screen, once this button is selected.
For now I am fopen()/fgets()/fclose()ing it on every selection change.

Hi Ken and TK Chia,
fmemopen looks very good, but sadly not available in Watcom. This is not
a big problem, rewriting the code to use buffers is not that much work.
I am using a own putc/puts-function-pair, which directly
The function I am writing right now will return already a zero
terminated string.
I dont know how to do it without a 0-termination. Maybe with length
variables? Not good...
A DOS line ends with 0x0D 0x0A, my function "cuts" this by overwriting
the 0x0D with a 0. Otherwise I cant use string

int data = 0;
