Re: [Freedos-user] re: [OT] WordPerfect

well to put in my 2cents, I am running Xandros and it is quite a bit better than Corel's effort although as I understand some of the development staff is the same. Word Perfect for Linux was actually their windows version with wine. I tried it and it was quite buggy. Openoffice is the opensour

I found out the other day that an associate at work (UofM) is the site admin for a games site, which includes a lot of classic DOS games. I'll hook up with him next week, and we'll add a link to his games archive. -jh -- Currently playing: DDR:Max2, WarioWareInc, Ratchet&Clank, Sly Cooper

Hi, Personally I prefer the new style. I was using the news archive to go back and see which is the latest version of some items, and this way it is easier (of course, ideal would be that you can run a search ONLY on the news headers, but maybe that is too much to ask ;-)). Aitor Jim Hall esc

[Freedos-user] Another way FreeDOS gets used

So, I was getting ready to use Mandrake 9.2 to carve up my NTFS partition on my new work laptop (only to make room for Fedora) so I thought I'd look up that problem with LG cdrom drives. My Thinkpad CDR/DVD drive wasn't an LG drive, fortunately. Anyway, I read this special errata page on Mandr
