    Better Late Than Never

    I apologize for the long delay between issues of the Fidogazette.  I
    am busy these days with health issues but I am doing much better than
    I have been in quite some time.  I've let the BBS run on auto for the
    most part these past few months but I am working on things again!

    I moved my main BBS back to Maximus/2 v3.01 running under ArcaOS PE
    5.0.3 in a Virtualbox virtual machine on my personal computer running
    Devuan Linux.  So far, so good!

    Thank you for your patience with me and I hope to be able to keep
    publishing the 'Gazette.

    As always, I would love more of your content for the 'Gazette.

      Running DOS on 64-bit Windows and Linux: Just because you can

      DOS isn't dead. You can still run it and its apps, even now

      Liam Proven in Prague Tue 28 Jun 2022 // 08:52 UTC

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

      FOSS Fest There are still ways to run DOS apps under 64-bit Windows
    and Linux, and a lot of free apps to choose from.

      One of the differences between the Microsoft and Apple approaches
    to maintaining widely used OSes is that Apple is quite aggressive
    about removing backwards compatibility, while Microsoft tries hard to
    keep it.

      One of the few times Microsoft removed a whole compatibility layer
    from Windows was with the launch of 64-bit Windows, which went
    mainstream with Vista in 2007. 64-bit editions of Windows can't run
    16-bit apps, whether yhey're for DOS or Windows.

      Enterprising developers, of course, take this kind of thing as a
    challenge.

      There are obvious ways round this, of course. You can run DOS in a
    virtual machine. It works fine - the problem is that it's very
    difficult to get anything in or out of it. Modern PCs are also so
    vastly more powerful than they were in DOS' heyday of the 1980s that
    you just run a PC emulator, such as DOSBox or the enhanced DOSBox-X.

      These programs emulate an entire PC, so you can run games that
    require long-obsolete hardware such as SoundBlaster cards. DOSBox-X
    even supports Windows 3.x and Win9x.

      But a whole-system emulator is overkill if you just want to run
    some DOS productivity apps. A long-standing way to just open a simple
    DOS prompt on  a Windows 64 machine is Jos Schaars's vDos, and it too
    has an enhanced  cousin, vDosPlus.

      A popular use for vDosPlus is to run the original DOS WordPerfect,
    as documented on Edward Mendelson's very helpful WordPerfect for
    DOS page.

      Most Linux distros used to include DOSEMU, which is one of the
    oldest Linux apps around, dating back to 1992.

      Despite its name, it's not an emulator: it's a sort of dedicated VM
    FGAZ 18-12                   Page 3                    4 Jul 2022


    for running actual DOS under Linux. This has two benefits: one is
    that DOS apps can access real hardware, such as devices attached to a
    physical parallel port. The other is that whatever you run executes
    at full native  speed, which on any 21st century PC is blazingly fast
    by DOS standards.

      Conveniently, DOSemu can map DOS drive letters to Linux
    directories, including on the fly with the LDREDIR command, so it's
    much easier to get things in and out of the DOS app than it is a full
    virtual machine.

     You can even run WordPerfect's WYSIWYG graphics mode, which was
    almost unusably slow when the app was new  Unfortunately, the V86
    mode of the x86-3 architecture has been removed from x86-64, so now
    it must be emulated, and possibly as a result, many distros have now
    dropped the trusty DOSemu along with x86-32 support. But don't panic,
    because a new team has taken over maintenance of the venerable
    program, and although unfinished, DOSemu2 is getting very usable, and
    the project offers ready-made packages for Ubuntu, Fedora, and
    openSUSE.

       Multiple sets of instructions are available for dosemu2, including
    a set from the industrious Professor Mendelson and another from
    uberhacker Tavis Ormandy.

      An excellent source of DOS freeware is the FreeDOS Repo. For
    instance, it  has MS Word 5.5, WordPerfect Editor (the freeware
    plain-text editor  version of the famous app), Protext, and more.
