    Hi Lorenzo, I just checked your last post (2020-05-10): c:\freedos\nls\htmlhelp.es does not work, but it is not necessary to execute it this way. In the latest freedos test version, look for FDT24xx live CD https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ you can install the most actual version and you will see, if you install it in spanish, it should work by typing "help" or "htmlhelp" now. Ifyou add one of the options "/F1 or /F2" you even get another colour scheme....

    That's for point #2, not #1. But yeah, that's the address I have. Then again, it might be someone from FreeDOS and not Mined itself that put this possibly outdated address. The project itself is from 2022 and links to an obsolete Mined tracker.

  • lwc lwc posted a comment on ticket #87

    Nice research! Wish FreeDOS just supported bidi natively, but in any case: This bug report is about keyb having wrong documentation about Mined (incorrectly suggesting to use command line parameters). It's really not related to either mkeyb/xkeyb or possible internal Mined bugs. I suggest just use the last aforementioned comment and then submit bug reports to Mined. Mined's contact page doesn't have any e-mail address. I've tried e-mailing him using the same address I've used to get this comment...

    OK, after a few minutes of work here is a summary now: We talk about the codepages 862 (Isr), 856 (Isr) and 864 (Egypt and others) as well as about xkeyb, mkeyb and keyb and config.sys (here: country and country.sys). Country.sys does not support 864 and 856, there is a short message while booting. see also https://bootablecd.de/FreeDOS-Internet-version/help110/en/hhstndrd/cnfigsys/country.htm, 856 is not mentioned here and 862 seems to work.

  • fritz.mueller fritz.mueller posted a comment on ticket #87

    as FDT2408 says it supports is keyboard (is=israel) mkeyb is stable, I know that there are three different keyboards. But the latest version only installs "mkeyb is" without any other country related settings. The result was that virtualbox was unable to support right CTRL button and mined did not work with bidi. So I simply want to test all combinations with the different keyboards, codepages and country settings to be sure which combinaions really work. And this will last a while. I have no plans...

  • lwc lwc posted a comment on ticket #87

    Where do you see that? The changelog mentions both (and also xkeyb), but calls mkeyb "unstable". Besides, what does it have to do with wrong documentation about Mined? Unless you claim the "unstable" mkeyb has bidi support which I seriously doubt. Also note it's older than keyb (but at least not as old as xkeyb).

    I feel this is getting much more complicated than it is: Just for info: It is becoming more complicated as FDT2408 says it supports is keyboard, but I noticed that it uses mkeyb which requires the right CTRL (Strg) button - and virtualbox uses this for other purposes. So I will have to run tests on bare metal to see what really happens. This may last a while.

    It looks like Andrew Bird fixed the encoding issue, please see https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/commits/master/mem/nls/mem.it.UTF-8. The garbled encoding goes back all the way to freedoslocal.sf.net but was fixed like I said above and switching to Italian in the latest test version of FreeDOS displays accented words just fine as shown in the attached screenshot. Let's hope an Italian speaker will complete the translation.

  • tizizi tizizi posted a comment on ticket #298

    To make things easier to manage for Jerome many of these translations are now waiting on a pull request on the FD-NLS project, where FreeDOS translations are being managed. Please see https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/pull/195. They should be included in the next FreeDOS test version and in the next release as well. Thanks a lot for your contribution ghderty!

    Okay, it is now sure that it is not the debt of FD when VGACopy does not work. I just tested it with two diskettes, one of them booted FD and started vgacopy on pure metal, the second was formatted (1,7 MB) and works fine! It can even be made bootable! If you have a closer look at VGACopy05.png you may see that there were problems with the oversize (marked in yellow) in virtualbox in combination with USB diskette drive. As this ticket is related to VGACopy I think it can be closed.

    Okay, I am a little bit further now: I was able to create high formatted floppy disks with vgacopy under Win XP on bare metal and a real diskette drive - and FreeDOS was able to read them (even from an USB disk) in virtualbox, see enclosed picures. But the same diskette drive had problems with creating disks in virtual box and an USB drive. So it seems to me that virtualbox refuses to write more than 1,4 MB. I will try to run some more tests with bare metal.

    I am sorry but KEYB doesn't do such things as to "turn into a right-to-left" language. Supporting right-to-left languages would be a feature request (for kernel at least). Nevertheless, the user that opened the bug is not complaining about right-to-left languages, (it was Henrique who wrote that bidi is not supported, and he is right), (s)he says to retest MINED (but it is not mentioned why?), so should be assigned to MINED.

    Mined didn't need to change anything, it still auto detects bidi just like it always did (confirmed by re-testing its latest version just now). it's FreeDOS' documentation that still needs fixing after all these years (especially since keyb never got any update since). So it (I guess here) should be fixed to just: (13) FreeDOS does not handle bidi scripts natively (i.e. this gets reversed to siht). A proper bidi text editor is required; only tested with Mined, which automatically supports bidi.

    I ran an additional test with 4 virtual 500 MB HDs - and there were entries in Sector 0 of all other HDs. The entries in HD001 - HD003 were identical. So I assume this seems to be correct.

    I had the following effect with 2 absolutely new virtual HDs and I only executed latest fdisk 1.3.15. Fdisk really wrote on the second HD, as you can see on the screenshots.

    As I am only the translator of the help (actual version kpdos 3.1) see my other website: https://www.bootablecd.de/FreeDOS-Internet-version/help110/en/hhstndrd/other/kpdos.htm I will have to ask if this comment is correct (I think it is, but I have to ask). If yes, I will try to correct it. Only a question for security: What do you mean with "siht"? Is it a typo? Do you mean "sight"?

    no I lost the ability to do more than add comments here a decade+ ago

    I tried with the latest test version of FreeDOS in French and the HELP command works perfectly. When I choose Spanish from the "Other installed languages" link no problem either. Indeed, Bernd has done great work! Also, as a side note, Jerome has recently fixed the credits file of FreeDOS, Lorenzo's name is now in it: https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/OS/fdcredit/-/commit/1c073bb81d7ac9a4e424000917c2c010b98022e9 :)

    Hi, great! Do you have the permission to close threads? Then it would be great if you could close 29, 178 and 346.

    See: https://bootablecd.de/FreeDOS-Internet-version/help110/en/hhstndrd/util/flashrom.htm Be happy that it did not work for you! @Jim and Jerome: Are you SURE that this file should be on FD or FDT24xx?

  • fritz.mueller fritz.mueller posted a comment on ticket #157

    Hi tizizi, hi Lorenzo, at least Berki should know that all this help bugs have gone with the new htmlhelp.exe version. Thanks, Bernd! So could you please confirm, that the thread can be closed. Thx.

    I think this thread can be closed.

    I have seen a lot of problems with BIOS updates. Sometimes the producer of the computer added a not working batch file (wrong options, wrong name of flash tool etc!). At a DELL Latitude D531 the latest BIOS (A12) exe version did not work at all (all others before had no problems), I just tried to enter the service tag for this older laptop (ca. 2010) and the service assist says that it does not find the tag, but A12 can be downloaded from another DELL subsite, two years ago it said that it is out...
