 13 Jul 16 15:40, you wrote to me: JL>>> Ok. I found a DOS binary on sourceforge. Problem is, it segfaults JL>>> DOSEmu.. Anyone have any ideas? ml>> which DOS is it for? freeDOS? is freeDOS 32bit? RM> Does a 32 bit DOS exist?? apparently... RM> That would not be DOS any more, would it?? DOS is nothing more than "Disk Operating System"... it could be 256bit and still be DOS... RM> Or do you mean extensions such as the DOS Protected Mode Interface RM> (DPMI) nothing like that should be needed for true 32bit stuffs... they should be using a flat memory model... the last time i used freedos it was very different from the normal MS-DOS... especially in the memory area... i had to figure out the new ways to get the drivers loaded that i needed to access a machine i was rescuing data from... that was several years ago when machines started coming out with no standard RS232 serial ports on them... luckily i was able to use the parallel post to rescue this particular machine ;) ml>> aside from that, FIDOSOFT.HUSKY would be the place to ask about HPT ml>> specific problems like that... RM> Indeed ... but I doubt that there will be people left interested in RM> compiling and supporting it for DOS. RM> I still think that you are better of using old DOS tossers like FastEcho. agreed to a point... )\/(ark Always Mount a Scratch Monkey ...
