Sources of dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz ================================= This file describes from where the binaries of dosemu-freedos-bin have been downloaded and where to find the sources which made these binaries. The dosemu team itself has not compiled from those sources, but only copied and stripped down (deleting files and symlinking duplicates) to tailor a minimal system. This work has been done manually (no script) and the resulting tree is simply tar'ed to build dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz. freedos/bin/*: ============== These binaries are out of the beta6 release of FreeDos, downloaded from ftp.ibiblio.org, directory /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta6pre the time stamp at that time was -rw-r--r-- 1 264 25 1232877 Mar 18 19:02 base1.zip The following packages have been extracted and stripped down: 11597 03-19-01 00:07 ^assgn14x.zip 16189 03-18-01 21:22 ^attr10x.zip 3181 03-19-01 00:08 ^comp01x.zip 22238 03-19-01 00:09 ^dbg095x.zip 21446 03-19-01 00:09 ^dtr102cx.zip 15743 03-18-01 21:25 ^dskcm71x.zip 34550 03-12-01 02:15 ^dskcp51x.zip 95244 03-19-01 00:09 ^edit04bx.zip 1358 03-19-01 00:09 ^exe2b10x.zip 18199 03-19-01 00:10 ^fc20x.zip 19778 03-19-01 00:13 ^find21x.zip 40001 03-12-01 02:26 ^fmt07x.zip 18883 03-19-01 00:10 ^help31x.zip 17466 03-12-01 02:20 ^label13x.zip 13071 03-19-01 00:11 ^loadh01x.zip 9988 03-19-01 00:12 ^mode104x.zip 18379 03-19-01 00:12 ^more30x.zip 14290 03-19-01 00:12 ^move11x.zip 30650 03-19-01 00:12 ^nansi34x.zip 17515 03-18-01 21:51 ^repl10x.zip 10937 03-19-01 00:13 ^sort10x.zip 115015 03-19-01 00:13 ^subst31x.zip 16795 03-12-01 05:16 ^tree361x.zip 4275 03-19-01 00:14 ^verif10x.zip 13615 03-19-01 00:14 ^vol10x.zip 20426 03-19-01 00:14 ^xcopy10x.zip Some binaries are taken from beta5 at ftp.ibiblio.org, directory /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta5/full the time stamps at that time were: -rw-r--r-- 264/25 1043826 Sep 28 05:23 2000 base1.zip -rw-r--r-- 264/25 1196404 Sep 28 05:24 2000 lang1.zip -rw-r--r-- 264/25 1297608 Sep 28 05:29 2000 util1.zip Only the following packages have been taken and stripped down: from base1.zip 19088 08-05-00 22:42 ^pause30x.zip from lang1.zip 92175 08-29-00 20:30 ^bwb220ax.zip 41396 08-29-00 20:30 ^lib32x.zip from util1.zip 9613 08-30-00 22:41 ^du10x.zip 3017 08-30-00 23:09 ^rerr10x.zip 3118 08-30-00 22:32 ^tee10x.zip 7093 08-29-00 22:42 ^touc143x.zip All source packages to the above binary packages are of format *s.zip instead of *x.zip, e.g. the source of tee10x.zip is tee10s.zip. = = Those source packages can be found at ftp.ibiblio.org, in directories /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta5/full/* and /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta6/full/* respectively, packed within the files source?.zip. Please note that, at time of writing this file, {www,ftp}.ibiblio.org is the official source distribution point of FreeDos, all download URLs (except for the kernel) at www.freedos.org are pointing to it. freedos/kernel.sys: =================== This kernel.sys is Bart's ker2024c.zip from http://www.dosemu.org/~bart/ker2024c.zip plus two small patches from Bart: http://www.dosemu.org/~bart/ker2024c-console+ioctl.patch freedos/bin/mem.exe: ==================== This is the FreeDos mem12cx havily fixed and made useable by Bart: http://www.dosemu.org/~bart/mem12l.zip freedos/gnu/*: ============== These are programs of the famous GNUish MSDOS project. Most of the former download points have vanished, but currently atleast ftp.simtel.net is still keeping a copy of it: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/gnuish93/... .../futi14bs.zip (the source) .../fgre11as.zoo .../booz20.zoo .../futi14bx.zip (the binaries) .../fgre11ax.zoo .../booz20.zoo NOTE1: You need booz.exe (under DOS) to extract the .zoo files. The .zip files can be extracted with unzip, which is available on all Linux distributions. NOTE2: The sizes of the binaries in the *x.{zip,zoo} archives are wrong by one byte, because (maybe by accident) those files are suffixed by a LF (0x0a). This is fixed in freedos/gnu. freedos/dosemu/lcd.exe: ======================= This program I put under public domain. I could make the source of it available, however, it needs third party proprietary modules linked in, for which the source is not allowed to be published. Hence, until I have the time to rewrite that stuff, you either are happy with what you have or just remove it, if your distribution policy requires source availability. -- June 2001, Hans Lermen
