Re: Known DOS Diagnostic, Repair, Backup/Recovery, FTP, Benchmarking & File Manager Software For 8086/88/186/188/286 Sys

Posted on Yesterday, 15:12

I really like the menu you did. Do you by any chance have it available as a standalone tool? It would be really great to reuse it. It looks straight-forward, and seems non-bloated, much like much all of your programs. I was just looking at that (it really has been years) - These tools were kind of …

Additional thought for (semi-related) "easy PC-DOS 7.1 Rev 0 BLD134 install disk". FWIW - maybe this will give you some more ideas: (please keep in mind that I'm trying describe something I did MANY years ago!) Back in the day when I distributed software on both "floppy disks" and via emailed …

its from here: http://8086cpu.com/ Very cool - I didn't know these existed (to be fair I've not looked in a long time) - I didn't know anyone even made 8088/86/V30 compatible PC/XTs anymore! The "Poqet" I mentioned is from a long time ago - IIRC it's from 1989 and is an 80C88 CPU in a fairly basic …

I notice "other" file differences, I am not familiar with, if you were able to take a peak at my copy (I believe its correct, but a 2nd pair of eyes cant hurt) You've added thing, and I've compressed some of mine, so what I did was take the original content of the IBM "serverguide scripting toolkit …

I have not seen this in my copy, but mind you, I am emulating an 8086 system (DOSBox-X) as getting my Pocket8086 into Canada via customs, is proving challenging currently..... Is that by chance a "Poquet PC"? I 've wanted one of those for years, and just recently actually got one! This is "just the …

Thats a nice site, few wonderings.... Host used? Content management system used? To be honest I don't really know much about the host I had my own company site for years "dunfield.com", but while I was laid up in hospital it expired, and someone I don't know purchased the domain and has been kindly …

Due to the issues of "providing" the DOS boot disk, looks like IBM PC-DOS or FreeDOS (or MS-DOS, up to 4.x, that is Open Sourced) Suggestions on my musings of options? IBM PC-DOS and Microsoft MS-DOS are very related, and much of the code is identical - PC-DOS was originally developed by Microsoft …

looking at some back up options I don't know if this would interest you, but back in the day", I created a little tool called "SYNC" - single .COM file less than 8K. Sync will "synchronize" to directory trees, I used it to do most of my backing up. (In DOS, I tended to use "removable drive carriers …

Just the minimal boot disk. Just in case anyone is interested... In preparing my "DBBD" tool (DosBox Boot Dos), I made fairly minimal boot disks for the various editions of DOS that I have on hand. These are not intended to be full-fledged systems, just quick boots with the tools I tend to use when …

1 Line patch to fix autocomplete bug

Posted on 2024-09-04, 14:08

-- For some reason I can't post in "DosBox Patches" -- Thought I'd pass this on - I've modified the DosBox I use (which happens to be MB6 - but wasn't fixed in -X or STAGINE either when I looked -it's been a while so it could be by now). DosBox will auto complete a filename on the command line by …

Automated PATCH tool

Posted on 2024-09-03, 03:41

Just in case anyone's interested - I put together a fairly nice (IMHO) automatic "patch package" tool... This lets you make a lot of string/text patches to a full package which may containing binary and text format files! In last couple days I updated a program that I use from time to time, and I …

Dave Dunfield, who has posted above, has a released a lot of great small little programs for DOS. ... (Dave: I don't personally know you, but I am really happy you are doing fine!). Thanks, I'm glad that people still appreciate some of the "stuff" I've been doing basically my "whole life"... if …

As I mentioned, one of my main concerns is "space", a hypothetical 720kb boot floppy (lets assume it used MS-DOS 6.22, which I can not redistribute but is SMALL, is used) this leave us with 620kb to work in. FWIW, at one point IBM gave away PC-DOS on the free "serverguide" toolkit DVD - a few …

I took the time to read through your pages and also found your very personal "2019" article - great to see you made it and got back into life! Thanks, what I went (am still going) through was for me a major "perception changer" about life and what truly important.. Which was a good part of the …

Beyond fantastic, if you have a complete list, I am happy to add it. I've not created/maintained such a list of "everything" - over 40+ years of development, some of it was for DDS products and reasonable well tracked and documented, but a lot was various internal tools, and much "just for fun".. …
