Welcome to FreeDOS
FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
We welcome new users to FreeDOS. You can contribute to the FreeDOS Project by downloading our latest release and telling us what you think. We have a bug tracking system that helps you report problems and submit requests, and otherwise tell us how to improve FreeDOS. By participating in the development and debugging process, you help everyone.
Looking for the FreeDOS 1.1 distribution? You can help make this happen!

dos2unix/unix2dos
2010-03-03 23:02 - The FreeDOS Project
Erwin Waterlander has picked up the dos2unix/unix2dos utilities. They were not maintained for more than 10 years. He has already created the first 16 bit DOS ports, using Borland C. The original version, more than 15 years ago, also ran on DOS. In the meantime this has become a standard utility in many Linux distributions. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/dos2unix.html

Mined 2000.16
2010-03-03 08:04 - The FreeDOS Project
Thomas Wolff recently updated his Mined text editor on Feb. 22. Mined is one of the best utilities for i18n text, especially for plain-text terminals, while remaining lightweight. The license is GPLv2, and the DOS compile (386+) is done by DJGPP (GCC). It does have partial support for codepages, and new in this release is improved selection highlighting as well as more input methods for DOS ("cxu vi pravas?" is auto-converted a la esperanto-postfix in GNU Emacs). http://www.towo.net/mined/

New FreeDOS Software List
2010-02-28 01:45 - The FreeDOS Project
For years, we have used "LSM" (or, Linux Software Map) data files to describe the packages contained in FreeDOS. We still do, and we will continue to use them. However, I've always wanted to update the Software List to use a database instead of flat files. Having the program information contained in a database allows us to do several things. We can still display the software list as a set of web pages. But we can now export that data as (correctly formatted) LSM files. Or as an XML file that the FDUPDATE program can use. I have finally done this, and the new list is now available at: http://www.freedos.org/software/ - more info at http://www.freedos.org/jhall/
