It pains me to see this much effort going into what should be a small utility that takes the relevant mTCP obtained network parameters and writes them into the WATTCP file. There are 15 invocations of the mt.exe program in that script. I suggest that somebody write a small program that takes

I think I found a solution. The problem was: When I choose "NAT" as network type for a VirtualBox FreeDOS 1.1 guest, only mTCP DHCP.EXE is able to get the correct IP addresses from the DHCP server provided by VirtualBox. WATTCP applications fail to get their IPs from that DHCP server. The i

Hi, thanks for pointing me to minitrue. Last year I learned to use "sed" in linux and minitrue seems to be comparable. It's also great to see that this is free software under GNU GPL. Maybe this should be included in the util repo of FreeDOS? It seems to be very useful and it is also well docum
