ReactOS natively supports long and unicode filenames. It is up to the file system driver how it deals with it. The FAT-driver delivered with ReactOS supports VFAT (=long names on FAT).

The goal of the FreeDOS Project is to create a free implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is a popular system, and there is plenty of hardware out there that supports DOS. The FreeDOS Project was founded in 1994 by Jim Hall. FreeDOS is not a derivation of MS-DOS - we are not using or referring to any Microsoft code. We are instead using the description of the MS-DOS program as given in publications (such as the user manual) to create a program of our own that follows that spec.

On a FAT32 File System to avoid fragmentation of directories without ever having to defrag the drive, no directory should hold more than 128 (8 sectors * 16 entries per sector) files / dirs. If the entries are long file name entries, it falls to 64 entries at the maximum.

NTFS offers a smaller cluster size (0.5) compared to FAT32 (4). This means more space for you. NTFS also allows compression and additional security features. Many people recommend formatting to a NTFS partition rather than converting the drive for speed reasons. You can go to this Microsoft article for more information, which lists only the pros . Some cons I've heard: Virtually no recovery tools for a faulty NTFS volume. If you backup this isn't a big deal.

You may also consider joining the FreeDOS mailing list. Or, you can post a message to comp.os.msdos.programmer or comp.os.msdos.misc (whichever seems more appropriate) and ask your questions there. A lot of people in these groups are pretty knowledgeable about FreeDOS. A number of FreeDOS mailing list members are also part of c.o.m.m and c.o.m.p.

Actually, Caldera has re-named OpenDOS to DR-DOS, because their DOS was neither really open nor free.

If you use a Unix-based operating system, this concept will be familiar; if not, it may require some explanation. NetBeans uses virtual files to refer to the users files on disk, and to refer to its own configuration files. If you used the NetBeans IDE 3.6 or earlier, you may remember that the way you constructed your classpath used to be by "mounting" filesystems - folders on your disk. A FileSystem is a hierarchical tree of folders and files.

I think I found also a workaround to the zoom-bug I wrote before, still checking...will let let you know soon. SWFObject should already take care of the ‘click to activate’ issue. If you are still seeing it, there maybe be other things getting in the way. I’m not sure about the specific IE7 problems, but I have an older post that talks about the issues in XP and IE6 here: What if I want to include the progress loding bar, so users know it is loading.

Can I have one libferris application which has mounted an XML file instantly see changes made to the XML document by another libferris application? (libferris 1.1.82+)

You can step into other filesystems from the root:// filesystem. The paths and URLs become a little strange when you do this because the filesystems you are stepping into expect to be top level schemes. For example the file:// URL handler expects something at path /var to be able to be lstat()ed which is not the case using its root:// path of root://file/var. This restriction means that root level URLs are not usable as round trip URLs.

File system within a TrueCrypt volume may become corrupted in the same way as any normal unencrypted file system. When that happens, you can use filesystem repair tools supplied with your operating system to fix it. In Windows, it is the 'chkdsk' tool. TrueCrypt provides an easy way to use this tool on a TrueCrypt volume: First, make a backup copy of the TrueCrypt volume (because the 'chkdsk' tool might damage the filesystem even more) and then mount it.

A real filesystem driver is a heavy weight. Loading it just for it to see that there is no partition it could mount is a waste of time. For this reason Dave Cutler invented the so called recognizer driver. They are more or less an integral part of the driver architecture. This driver gets loaded and searches partitions for filesystems its companion IFS is capable of reading. If it finds such a partition it loads its companion IFS to mount it.

The later does not need root privileges if the filesystem was mounted by the user doing the unmounting.

In short, yes, FreeDOS should run on all PC's. That means you can run FreeDOS on your Pentium-Pro 800Mhz. It will just run really fast. You can also run FreeDOS on your 5MHz PC-XT. It will just run a little slow. FreeDOS will run on all levels of PC's, from as low as an XT with 640k memory. We may one day expand the project to support 32-bit extensions such as protected memory or multi-tasking, but for now we are content with supporting the lower systems.

Yes. FreeDOS works well in several PC emulators, including the popular Linux DOSEmu. In fact, FreeDOS is the official DOS of the DOSEmu folks. FreeDOS is also used in other PC emulators as well, including Mac Bochs, and VMWare (for Linux and Windows NT.) Can I use FreeDOS to install my copy of Windows? FreeDOS will run most MS-DOS programs. However, Windows is a special case. Microsoft Windows does not like to run on any DOS other than MS-DOS.

Yes, FreeDOS really is free. Most FreeDOS programs are written under the GNU General Public License. This means that the source to all FreeDOS programs (including the kernel and replacement COMMAND.COM shell) is available.

Some software in the FreeDOS software distribution is protected under other licenses, so you should be sure to check the licensing of any program that you want to bundle with your app.

Refer to the FreeDOS Maintainers Lists for a list of all programs that are currently distributed with FreeDOS. To see a list of old DOS programs that are currently known to run on FreeDOS, please see the kernel compatibility list.

Monitoring of some environmental indicators take places regularly (for air quality, waste, water and so on). Yes. Training sessions have been organized by the ISO14001 Steering Group in November 1999, August 2000, December 2000 and November 2001. Records can be found on the UNU ISO14001 Online Forum. The training materials are also available on the UNU ISO14001 Online Forum.

It is the complete version with all features enabled. The difference between the full version editions and the free trial version is detailed in "Buy Cool Page" section of User Manual in Help menu of any edition. You can also get a summary of these edition differences by checking the descriptions linked from the Buy page. For changes between versions, see the "Changes in Each Version" section of User Manual in Help menu.

I no longer have any contact with Andy Hanson. As a result, I seriously doubt that we will see another release from him - last I heard, he hasn't worked for 3DFX for a very long time. The Descent2 source code is out, though, so it's possible that someone may produce another derivative work sometime in the future.

The short answer is to boot from the FreeDOS Install Boot Floppy. When your system comes up, just type: After that's done, remove the floppy from the A: drive, and reboot. Your system is now running FreeDOS.

Yes. There is always the possibility for data loss when upgrading your operating system. At a minimum, you should always backup your data before you make any significant change to your system.
