New Maintainer Needed For ScanDisk
posted on 06/Nov/00.
Well, as some of you know...my time here is almost up. On November
15, I'm leaving for Marine Corps boot camp for 3 months...so I will
not be able to participate in FreeDOS until boot camp is over.
However, I do have 1 active project that demands attention. ScanDisk.
I need someone who is willing to be the maintainer of this
program...Someone who has time to make sure that it gets worked on
and can make significant improvements in it. I've been working on
ScanDisk for a while now, and myself and Imre Leber have made several
very significant improvments in it since it's first conception. The
ScanDisk Interface code is based off of Defrag's. A lot of the
user-bility (how the user uses it and how it behaves) is already
complete and stable...yet to be implemented are the actual scanning
and fixing routines. Current version is 0.5. If you would like to
be the new maintainer, please email me
and I will get back to you.
You will need to be very knowledgeable with C and Assembly in order
to take on this project.
ScanDisk started
posted on 31/Oct/00.
Well, I've started working on Free ScanDisk! (Clap you bastards)
The first release, 0.4, is available here.
HTML Help files
posted on 11/Oct/00.
Julien Etelian
has taken all the HTML files included in HTML Help and made them
compatible with all of the web browsers and the HTML Help engine.
Take this with a couple other bug fixes I've made to HTML Help and
you've got version 4.1.
Label's bugs have been fixed!
posted on 06/Oct/00.
For a long time Brian
and I have been working on the LABEL command getting it to work
right and everything, and we're finally done. To download the
newest version of Label, 1.3, click here.
Start finished
posted on 02/Oct/00.
Finally, after much work, the FreeDOS Start command is finished. It
is written off of the Start.exe that comes with Winblows 9x. I've
included at definition file with support for many extensions. If
there is an extension that you want, and it is not already included,
add it yourself. I will not return any emails asking me to
include a specific extension. There is a detailed text file that
goes over every intricate detail of how to add the extensions yourself.
To download Start, place your mouse over this text
and hold down the left mouse button for a second...then release.
An even newer version of MEM released!
posted on 05/Sep/00.
I have made my last improvements on the MEM command. It is my
belief that MEM now works the same as the M$-DO$ MEM command.
I have vanquished all bugs that I'm aware of and done a lot of beta
testing with it. I have also added some more features including
giving MEM the ability to detect which operating system is running.
If you think this would be a good program to have, download it.
New version of MEM released
posted on 01/Sep/00.
With help from Michal Meller,
I have made many improvements to the MEM command. It now looks
better, displays more accurate info, and gives a little more
information. You can download it by putting your mouse over
here
and pressing the left mouse button.
Tree Fixed
posted on 25/Jul/00.

really well. Very stable. In fact, if you want to try it, you can
download it here.

Brian,
has come through huge again and fixed the bug that cut out the first
letter of the filename in the status bar in version 3.2. Also some
minor changes to some of the help files and some code cleanup.
Start.exe Port Started
posted on 22/Jul/00.
A while back, a FreeDOS programmer wrote a program similar to the
Start.exe program you find with Win9x. It was written in BASIC, so
I'm going to port it to C, give it a little more functionality, and
make some small improvements on it. More news to come...
