Hi Jim and everyone, Had fun during the get-together. Playing around with Virtual Cameras, OBS and live streaming the video from my good old Pentium Pro.
:-) During the online get-together, Jim wanted to know what was the font I was using in FreeDOS. It was one I created decades ago in my earlier DOS days. I wanted bigger text in TEXT MODE on that tiny screen. So the LARGE.FNT was born and LARGE.COM to make it permanent. Anyhow, I wasn’t using my normal computer with email, bookmarks and such to easily send any links. You can get the TSR at https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/bin/LARGE.COM <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/bin/LARGE.COM> You can get the font itself at https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/COMASM/LARGE.FNT <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/COMASM/LARGE.FNT> It is a simple bitmap file and should work fine with programs that can change text fonts. You can also view the source for the Turbo Pascal program that turns its own EXE into a COM binary and the code for LARGE.PAS in the https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/COMASM/ <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/COMASM/> directory. I didn’t have a lot of money and could only afford one compiler. So, doing it in Turbo Assembler, MASM or other assembler wasn’t an option. Also… He wanted to know more about my text mode SMOOTH SCROLLING directory listing program. The source is in that Github repository. But, a direct link to the compiled version is https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/bin/DS.EXE <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/raw/master/bin/DS.EXE> Please note, the smooth scrolling only works on REAL hardware and in DOSBOX. I have not seen any other Virtual Machines that fully implement the required VGA functions needed to accomplish this in text mode. If you run it under VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU or one of those virtual machines, you just get slow scrolling. :-( Anyhow… :-) Jerome
