Re: [Freedos-devel] GW-BASIC random numbers

Hello Jim, hello Steve, I didn't know how to report a bug to the GW-BASIC folks, but TK Chia hangs out on this list, so I thought I'd mention it here. I do not think there is any official support for channel any more, either at Microsoft, or anywhere else. Microsoft also stated that "[t]he so

Re: [Freedos-devel] Smaller C

I have just scan all the .exe from /v0100/bind/ directory (16 bits version) and /v0100/bindp/ directory (32 bits DPMI) and none were suspicious. Was also able to build test.exe with 32 bits DPMI version. I guess would be better to package 32 bits DPMI version because we have cwsdpmi by defa

[Freedos-devel] Smaller C

Well, after having a problem with IA-16 gcc (which seems to requires DJGPP gcc installed and working), I have search for an other free C compiler for FreeDOS. I have found Smaller C: https://github.com/alexfru/SmallerC/blob/master/v0100/doc/smlrc.md I note: Smaller C is not an optimizing comp

Aw, man. Now I have Kyle's Dreidl Song from that South Park holiday episode repeating in my head. 😅 Thanks for sharing this with the world. Can you double-check that link, though? It's giving me a 404. On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 11:16 PM Jim Hall wrote: > It's kind of early for Hanukkah, but a fr

Re: [Freedos-devel] 1.3-rc3: should give meaningfull error message on AHCI (SATA) only system

Wouldn't that effort be better spent on actually adding AHCI support to UDVD2? One cool thing about AHCI is that it has considerably lower emulation overhead than legacy IDE. So that would be an additional argument in favor of adding full native AHCI support to FreeDOS. On Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 4:

Hi Paul, Have you listed the issues you have found on the FreeDOS "feature requests” and “bug tracker” lists on SourceForge.net? https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/feature-requests/ https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/
