[Freedos-user] Licensing (comp, printq)

2009-01-23 Thread maybeway36
Hello, I want to put some FreeDOS packages online as part of a FreeDOS installer script for Linux that I'm making. I went through for each package in base and figured out the license: GPL 2: append, assign, attrib, bootfix, cdrcache, chkdsk, choice, command, cpidos, ctmouse, defrag, deltree, devloa

[Freedos-user] dosemu Ubuntu update fixes low mmap sysctl.conf crash

2009-01-23 Thread Eric Auer
Hi all, After Wine, now also Dosemu for Ubuntu 8.04 features /etc/sysctl.d files for setting the vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 thing required for both. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/216398 LP 216398 "default mmap_min_addr breaks dosemu" somehow sounds like "4/2008 introduced ove

Hi :-) I think WordPerfect 5.1 was a really popular word processor for DOS, much more suited for DOS use than graphical Word versions today... The ODF and MS-OOXML formats are, as far as I remember, both actually "renamed" ZIP files with several XML files inside. I think MS-OOXML also has binar

As Marco said, Word's Find and Replace does this easily - you need to click on the 'More' button in the Find and Replace dialog, then click on 'Special', then insert as many of the characters as you like in sequence - in this case, 'Paragraph Mark' and 'Tab Character'. Works like a charm! I haven'

I second the vote for VP51 (which still works great under Windows XP, BTW), and the later windows (9, 10, etc) versions were quite nice as well. Much easier to format tables and pages than Word, IMO. That's one complaint I have about OO, that it's a Word work-alike, rather than WP. D >
