Hi everybody, thanks for the quick help with RUNTIME translations :-)
The new runtime.com from > http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/runtime.zip now "speaks" the languages English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Turkish, Italian, Polish and Russian :-). Most languages work in codepage 858, Italian / English / Dutch even in 437... For Polish, you should use codepage 790 (or 991). For Russian, you need CP866 :-). Please let me know if the translations are okay. For Turkish, I did not find the dotless lower case I and G-caret. Please send a file (as file, not via cut and paste) in a suitable codepage for DOS, and let me know which codepage has to be used. Note that our EDIT can show an ASCII / character table window :-). Thank you :-). Enjoy the updated RUNTIME. Cheers, Eric. Q: How do you load fonts for the codepage in question in FreeDOS? A: Three steps, can be done at the command line or in autoexec: LH DISPLAY con=(ega,,1) MODE CON CODEPAGE prepare=((858) c:\fdos\cpi\ega.cpx) MODE CON CODEPAGE select=858 (you can also say "CP PREP" and "CP SEL" if you are lazy...) Q: How do you do the same in MS DOS? A: Almost the same, but DISPLAY is a device driver and instead of our small cute CPX files you use large clumsy CPI files ;-). Q: And how about DR DOS, the greatest DOS of all? A: Almost as in MS DOS but you can use compressed small CPI files. PS: The binary is now slightly above 2 kB (3 kB without UPX) and supports 10 languages, not bad :-). My c:/fdos/nls/ directory has only 1 of 20 tools translated to Portuguese and none to Turkish (1 Pt, 6 Ru, 9 Fr, 11 Nl, 11 Pl, 12 De, 13 It, 14 Es, 19 En) so you are invited to translate those files in your FreeDOS, too :-). Jim's "runtime classic" also supported Hungarian and Latvian ;-). Translateable tools: help find choice sort more fc edlin diskcopy mem xcopy tree htmlhelp move (...). All files are text files, easy to edit... You can also translate FreeCOM and the help of EDIT, but those are packed. I can help with packing if you want to translate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
