Re: [Freedos-user] getting applications working

[Aitor S. <ait...@gm...>]

Hello,

2009/6/6 LM <lm...@ya...>:
> I had to run the install CD twice to get FreeDOS installed on the hard drive.  The first time, I tried to pick an image on bootup and the system locked up.  Second time, I left it as default.  I guess I'm not very familiar with the programs that installed with FreeDOS (other than the basic DOS stuff), because I got on and wasn't sure where to get started.  I have a large cabinet full of legacy hardware and software, so I decided perhaps I should go back to the programs on DOS I'm most familiar with just to get going.  My experience was that about half of the ones i tried on FreeDOS worked.

"to pick an image on bootup", what do you mean?

> WordPerfect 6.0 appears to work fine.  Was very happy to see that.  My favorite DOS programming editor (ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/editor/edwin15c.zip) fails and won't run.  Has anyone been able to get edwin working on FreeDOS?

A pitty that garbo seems to be unreachable from here right now, if
someone knows of an alternative download site...
