Re: [Freedos-user] Gui for FreeDOS
Oscar sent me the latest WinDos. I gave it a quick look, and everything looks ok to me. At least, I didn't see anything that looked like it was lifted from non-GPL sources (for example, several icons were instantly recognizable from GNOME, but that's under the GNU GPL as well, so that's ok.) But I can't run the GUI - I get a resolution not supported error under DOSEMU, regardless of what resolution I try to set in regedit. Anyway, I posted his archive on ibiblio at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/gui/windos/ It would be great if others here could try it out and see if it works for them. -jh - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Freedos-user] Gui for FreeDOS - dosemu mini review
Hi Jim, But I can't run the GUI - I get a resolution not supported error under DOSEMU, regardless of what resolution I try to set in regedit. It would be good if Windos displays which resolution it WANTS. Or if it automatically selects something. Default is 640x480x16, but I found that my dosemu only offers 32 bit per pixel modes. When I select the obvious 640x480x32, windos crashes. When I select 800x600x32, it does start and show an empty desktop with a pic of a mouse as background. With 1024x768x32, it does start up first but then exits at once. It says VBE 3.0 not available. I think VBE 2.0 should be enough! And I think it actually MEANS that there is not enough framebuffer RAM available for 1024x768x32 VBE 2.0 mode ;-). VBE 3.0 adds a protected mode interface and refresh rate control, but I have written DJGPP programs which use VBE 2.0 without problem. I just enter the mode, get a handle for the framebuffer memory, and do not need the BIOS after that anyway. When I edit my .dosemurc to say $_X_vgaemu_memsize = (8192) then windos does start up at first but then crashes, traceback EIP: 0x000603db 0x0011f8f2. With 800x600, Windos also crashes often, and I cannot get to a menu even if it does not crash. When I try to use a depth 8 mode (256 color mode) I get a crash with traceback EIP 0x000d15d2 only. Modes with depth 15 also crash after WinDos shows the start screen. No idea why DOSEMU 1.4 only gives DOS 15 and 32 bit depth modes but no 16 and 24 bit depth modes. Translation of Regedit: Enter open F4 Edit F7 New F8 Delete? F9 File? Basically you use the cursor keys and Enter until the right key is highlighted and then type F4. Then type a value and hit enter. When all keys are set, hit esc to exit and save the new settings. Problem with Regedit: It is NOT available in the installed system. It is only in the directory with the installer files. This should be changed, such files should be put into some tool directory. The source code is installed too - it should be put in a separate directory and you should have the option to not install it. The full install with source code is 5000 files and 160 MB, plus the 145 plus 28 MB that you need during install! The few exe files which are left in the install dir instead of in the windos dir are mostly apps for running inside windos. Exception is regedit and of course install. I believe that the files are MEANT to be in the WinDos directory after install, but that they end up in the wrong directory because I selected another directory, not c:/windos, as install target directory...? When you run install, you have to type tab and then enter to accept the GPL. Actually the GPL is not meant to be as a you have to accept before you install this license! Of course it is nice to show the GPL but you do not have to accept it. Next, you hit enter to open a menu for principal (main) and select windos. Hit enter. Use the cursor to select extras, hit enter, and see that there are no choices apart from nada (nothing) ;-). Hit tab and enter to go to the next page. Edit the target path (just type, use backspace to remove the path which is suggested as default). Use tab to go to the next field, edit that, use tab twice to go to the siguiente pagina, hit enter, and enjoy how piles of files are extracted from a big uncompressed .bar archive file. I think the installer will be more happy if you enable your long file name drivers first before you install Windos, but it seems to work with short file names, too. I think environ bat is not adjusted to match the actual install directory if you select something else than c:/windos ... The registry.wd file contains the registry as editable text but windos.reg is binary. Interestingly, system32 does not contain a bin directory, but djgpp.env looks as if it should. As far as I can tell, WinDos opens the following files before it crashes: debug.txt djgpp.env (as pointed to by %DJGPP% env var), WinDos.reg and the soundblaster. It seems to be impossible to run WinDos without sound output...?? Most of what you get when you install WinDos is the source code of everything and many DJGPP compile tools. The actual WinDos seems to be pretty small: - tmp, extra (empty) - a few files (ca 2 mb) - desktop/desktop.dat (4 kb) drivers.dos/mouse/ctmouse... (5 kb) - scrsaver (8+12 kb) cursors (14 files of 766 bytes each) - bitmaps (ca 1/2 mb, could be 200k less if using PCX for WinDos.bmp) - bmp (ca 1 mb, almost the only place which contains long file names, some of which are broken down to name~1.png style while some other names are correctly installed as long. Note that windos uses some library which can render PNGs :-)) [more LFN: info/allegro.info LIB/GCC-LIB/DJGPP/3.04/INCLUDE/syslimits.h LIB/GCC-LIB/DJGPP/3.04/libstdcxx.a LIB/libstdcxx.a system32/doc/rhide/rhide.html I think WinDos can easily be all SFN...] - bmps (ca 1 mb, includes a picture of the author, why not as JPG? :-)) Things which are probably not needed to run

Re: [Freedos-user] Gui for FreeDOS
I've been in an off-list discussion with Oscar, and now understand his project is clean. It is based on SEAL and Allego, and includes Oscar's own contributions. The only mistake was including images from Microsoft Windows. And Oscar has corrected that in a new archive file that he sent me, so I will post that now to ibiblio so others may use and enjoy it. SEAL??? I had developed for SEAL in the past and am very interested. (It is better than oZone? ;-) I have tried to port SEAL to the latest version of GCC and Alegro but haven't luck. Where can I download it? The link haven't worked for me. I hate having to ask these kinds of questions to people who eagerly want to contribute to FreeDOS, but my most important job is protecting the FreeDOS Project. So while I don't like doing it, I believe stopping to ask these questions was the right thing to do.

Jim, I think you have done exactly the right thing. Until the code is clarified it's important to be cautious. Oscar (the author/distributor), please don't be offended. It is important to clarify the status of the code and project to make sure that there is no problem in legally distributing it with or for FreeDOS.

Hi, at first: nice job! :) (I installed WinDOS 01 on a dedicated partition '/dev/hda1' and it worked out of the box) comments / sugggestions: - Please remove the Microsoft logo from the boot screen. - Please rename the project from WinDOS to something else. (Microsoft will ask the same.) other: the system froze severalt time during the test (conducted solely for a couple of minutes), I suspect that the video card was kiecked with the 1280X1024 resolution (can at most 800X600 with a vesa driver as it is an old integrated trident with 4 MB video RAM) Again: nice job! :o) Best regards email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
