About OpenDOS Q: What is OpenDOS?

OpenDOS FAQ list
OpenDOS is a clone of the popular MS-DOS operating system. Like MS-DOS, it is a 16 bit OS, and includes the full range of standard utilities (sort, chkdsk, etc), most of which are improvements over their counterparts supplied with MS-DOS. The supplied game, NetWars, is far better than MS-DOS"worms"!

Where can I find the OpenDOS documentation?

DOS FAQ by Christoph Fuchs
alternative to the official documentation is the outstanding file nwdostip.txt in the MPDOSTIP.ZIP archive (http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs180/mpdokeng.html#M.MPDOSTIP) from Matthias Paul. This package isn't an official document, but it contains much information about DR-DOS and other DOS related topics like NC and a file with many undocumented features of DR-DOS. Unfortunately, these files only exist in german language.

Are there any other DR-DOS/OpenDOS FAQs?

DOS FAQ by Christoph Fuchs
I found an outdated (March 14, 1997) OpenDOS FAQ at http://www.delorie.com/opendos/faq/. If you know any other DR-DOS/OpenDOS FAQ, please contact me <cfuchs@n-net.org>. PTS DOS is a russian DOS, written in assembler. It's really fast. It comes on two floppy disks, one with the system and the utilities, the other one with Arachne as webbrowser. It claims to be MS-DOS compatible, but it's a bit strange in configuration and memory management but it is still developed. At http://phystechsoft.

Is FreeDOS the same as OpenDOS?

If you have any questions, please contact the FD-DOC coordin...
Actually, Caldera has re-named OpenDOS to DR-DOS, because their DOS was neither really open nor free.

Is there an IRC channel for discussing OpenDOS?

OpenDOS FAQ list
This is due to the way that Caldera's web server is set up - it times out. If you have access to a high-speed network at your ISP or work, download it there and then transfer it over your modem. Until Caldera modifies their license, no mirrors can be set up. Send email to geneb@web.wa.net if you really need it to find out what the current best way to get it.

What's the relationship between DJGPP and OpenDOS?

OpenDOS FAQ list
The DJGPP and OpenDOS groups expect to work closely together to "clean up" the OpenDOS sources and integrate the GEM, TCP/IP, and EMM386 APIs into DJGPP's development kits. While no official arrangements have been made, suffice to say that there will be many DJGPP developers with OpenDOS sources! As for porting OpenDOS to DJGPP, remember that DJGPP doesn't support 16-bit machines, which will be a popular platform for OpenDOS.

What will I need to build OpenDOS?

OpenDOS FAQ list
Each part is built with a different development package. To build everything (once the sources are found and cleaned up), you'll need nine different development packages to build it all. The hope is that this list can be reduced to two or three. The current list is approximately "Turbo Cv2,v3, BCC v2,v3.1, Watcom C v7, 3 versions of MASM, 2 version of TASM... and a partridge in a pear tree.....", according to Gene! EMM386 is all in assembler.

Will OpenDOS be ported to DJGPP?

OpenDOS FAQ list
Well, the core OS can't be (IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM, and COMMAND.COM) but there's no reason why the utilities couldn't all be 32-bit DJGPP programs. However, that means that a 386 is required, which otherwise wouldn't be true.

Q.- How much can I take?

Cancer F.A.Q's
A.- With cancer: It is most important to eat the seeds. The seeds must be chewed and kept in the mouth for as long as it takes for them to practically liquify. One or two seeds per hour is what should be eaten when you have cancer. The best results have come when the person eats 3-5 seeds per waking hour. Vitamin B17 is water soluble and non-toxic. It is as safe as sugar or salt. Some people get nauseous if they take too many seeds at one time.

Cosmetic Solutions for Female Hair Loss | Frequently Asked Q...
A We use the combination of a very fine, anti-allergenic mesh, the best handmade fibre and extremely delicate and expert hair extension work. The mesh is placed across the affected area as a "bridge" between any existing hair. Fibre is then woven through the mesh to create the required look. Any natural hair beneath the mesh is "pulled through it", so that the fibre and your natural hair intermingle together, further adding to the illusion of a full head of beautiful hair.

DPIW - Tasmanian Devil - FAQs
Tasmanian devils seem to have earned their name from Europeans. It is easy to imagine the unearthly screams, coughs and growls coming from devils scavenging - perhaps behind a settler's hut. The settler comes to investigate with an old kerosene lamp and sees these black and white animals with red ears, pink mouths and big wide teeth. The settler would get a fright and fall over, the lamp goes out, and they are left very scared at their encounter with the devil.

Q.-Can it help me?

Cancer F.A.Q's
A.-If you have first been diagnosed and you're starting B17 therapy without chemo or radiation treatment, you should be fine. Dr. Krebs claimed a 98% success rate and the Del Rio Hospital of Tijuana claims nearly a 100% success rate with virgin cases. A virgin case is an individual that has not had chemo or radiation. In cases where the individual has had chemo and /or radiation, it depends on how far the cancer has spread and what damage has been done by the chemo and radiation.

Q: How to keep it from coming back again?

Graves Disease Cure
There is no guarantee that disease will not come back in your life again- especially if you are treating only the symptoms, but not the cause. If you are taking your pills and you feel at certain point better, but you did not change anything in your life, then at the next stressful situation most likely the disease will come back again to remind you again that you are not doing the things right again.

Q What about maintenance?

Valley View Field of Pride Community Project
A There's very little to do to maintain a synthetic turf surface — the main thing is regular brushing to keep dirt and leaves off, and to "re-settle" the infill. This will be done, on average, once per week, and takes half the time that mowing does. The costs involved are a fraction compared to the maintenance required for natural grass surfaces. Over the past 5 years, the expense incurred to maintain the current grass field by the Boosters and the Lions Club alone has been $96,000.

Q Will my taxes go up?

Valley View Field of Pride Community Project
A No. The majority of project money is coming from private companies, individuals, and the Booster Club. The School District contribution (which is obviously funded from tax dollars) is money that would be budgeted for continued maintenance of the field. Their total contribution is considerably less than what would have been necessary to maintain the natural grass.

MovieMartyr.com - Frequently Asked Questions
A.) My name's Jeremy Heilman. I'm 23, live in Brooklyn, NY , and I watch too many films. I think that that's a pretty self-indulgent activity, so I'm putting this site up with my rankings & reviews in the hopes that someone might benefit from it. I dig looking at other peoples best film lists since I want to watch everything anyway, and I don't necessarily know everything that exists.

Q.) Why should I listen to you?

MovieMartyr.com - Frequently Asked Questions
A.) No good reason really. I don't have any hardcore credentials. I did a few years of film school, but it wasn't really for me (I sort of felt I could make the same determinations about movies I saw on my own.) I don't really work in the film industry. I don't publish reviews professionally (nor do I write professional reviews). I just see a lot of films and love to always watch more, which apparently ranks me above many so-called professional critics.

Q What is Osteoarthritis?

Liquid Glucosamine Chondroitin and MSM
A One of over 100 diseases that can effect the joints, Osteoarthritis involves the articular cartilage (the slippery substance attached to the end of bones). Articular cartilage is designed to reduce the friction caused by two bones rubbing against each other and acts as a shock absorber from movement. As a result of Osteoarthritis this protective cartilage begins to break down.

Q.) What Should I Do If I Get The Flu?

FluFaq
A.) Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. One of those fluids can be OJ, diced and squeezed but not sliced, with additives with an octane rating of 80 proof and above. The flu symptoms won't subside but for a few hours you won't care if you have the flu or not. Have plenty of tissues handy in case your nose turns into Farrah Fawcett and drips constantly. Monitor your temperature every few hours. Be sure you use an oral thermometer. You know where the other kind has been. Enough said.
