At least for the programs I write (mostly TSR's), there is additional
functionality provided if the executable is not compressed. Specifically, if
you TYPE the executable program file (e.g., "TYPE FileName.com"), you will see
some usable information displayed on the screen. For TSR's, this is

NTFS was actually introduced in Win NT Workstation, and released to
consumers in Win2K, though I recall installing to FAT32 as a 2K
option.

Did you mean FDCONFIG.SYS? (IIRC, dconfig.sys is from DR-DOS.)

I think it's good and works well. Sure, if you don't have any local
restrictions (bandwidth limits, mail attachment limits, slow upload
time, limited disk size, or similar), it may not

There is this DOS utility created in the mid 1990s called "spawn" by
Geoff Chappell in Australia. I do not know if it will work with
FreeDOS, I've only used it with MS DOS. It allows DOS program
execution (exe file) from config.sys during boot. It will not run a
resident program from conventional m

Oops, I stand corrected. Thanks! Also for eComStation then I suppose, or
whatever the name nowadays is.

Hello,
It depends. Here is some data to consider:
For mTCP I distribute 11 executables in two different forms - UPX
compressed and standard. The UPX versions sum to 496KB. The original
versions sum to 824KB. The UPX versions require 60% of the space of the
originals.
On a low-end 8088 cl
Synchronizing the sending of bits over parallel interfaces is much more
difficult than it is to send a single serial bit stream. As a result,
you can send that single serial stream of bits faster than you can do it
in parallel across multiple wires.
SCSI went through this transition when driv

My machines are all old and use only IDE. As for SATA I don't see how
that could be better.
The S stands for serial or one bit at a time. A SATA drive interface has
only 4 lines going
into it vs IDE which has 44 lines. On SATA 2 lines are for power, the
other 2 lines are for data.

I don't see why you'd have to load your EXE-driver in CONFIG.SYS then,
considering the

Hi all more experienced,
I'm trying to revise and update dosemu-freedos package (subset of
FreeDOS stuff used in DOSEMU usual installation) and I'm not sure,
what is better - whether packaged programs by UPX or not. Actual
dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin.tgz contains 40+ binaries, roughly half of
them is p
