Of course only if this is possible. If not, simply forget it. As you can see the number of turkish users increases. I am sure one of the turkish boys can inform you about the layout etc.<br/><br/>Thank you for reading and thinking about this.<br/><br/>Cheers<br/><br/>Willi<br/><br/><br/>--<br/>Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android Mobiltelefon mit <a href="http://mail.com">mail.com</a> Mail gesendet.</div><div class="mail_android_quote" style="line-height: 1; padding: 0.3em"><html><body>Am 31.12.21, 17:03 schrieb Emir SARI via Freedos-devel <fre...@li...>:</body></html><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0.8ex 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, <br> <br> > Your welcome. <br> > <br> > If your on an Intel based Mac, I recommend using VirtualBox.

But, that probably has a lot to do with the model of Mac and it’s video card. <br> <br> VirtualBox is convenient, but I don’t like the fact that it puts all its tentacles all around the system. QEMU is more compact. :) <br> <br> In the meantime, I’ve observed a critical omission in the Turkish FreeCOM translations; the prompt reply keys were never translated. I was surprised to see that I could not get out of the drive letter error, only to see that it was not there. <br> <br> I have fixed this, and improved some other error messages in this[1] commit. <br> <br> Can we please put this in a last minute FreeCOM release? It will be a real bummer to ship it with this error. I am really sorry that I notice this now this late. <br> <br> Best regards, <br> Emir <br> <br> [1] <a href="https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/pull/84/commits/c8ac0ed6fff0d1da0cd062944da9d86602f21143">https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/pull/84/commits/c8ac0ed6fff0d1da0cd062944da9d86602f21143</a> <br> <br> _______________________________________________ <br> Freedos-devel mailing list <br> Fre...@li... <br> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel</a> <br> </blockquote></div></body> </html> |
