FreeDOS aims to be a complete, free, 100% MS-DOS compatible operating system.
Welcome to FreeDOS
FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
We welcome new users to FreeDOS. You can contribute to the FreeDOS Project by downloading our latest release and telling us what you think. We have a bug tracking system that helps you report problems and submit requests, and otherwise tell us how to improve FreeDOS. By participating in the development and debugging process, you help everyone.
Now is a great time to get involved in FreeDOS - we are starting to plan the FreeDOS 1.1 distribution! You can help out by looking at the FreeDOS Software List and contributing patches. We also need help with testing, especially as we get closer to making a pre-release. For FreeDOS 1.1, we aren't planning any major changes. This will pretty much be an update to the 1.0 release, but with a new Update program, an optional floppy-only "Base" install, and (hopefully) a few updates to the Install program. Let's worry about other, larger changes in later releases.

FASM 1.67.29
2008-11-18 19:59 - The FreeDOS Project
FASM's new -s option can produce .fas internal data when assembling, allowing external tools (included) to create a listing, preprocessed source dump, or symbols dump (as previously seen in some older version-specific hacks). This also opens the way for symbolic debugging in the future.

2008-10-19 19:09 - The FreeDOS Project
Ladislav Lacina wrote a small tool for finding duplicite files on disks: "Note that it checks duplicated data not duplicate filenames. It is multilanguage, czech and english message files are included. Usually I make a russian version too but today I was to tired to translate it into russian. So it is your opportunity." Download here: http://www.laaca.borec.cz/soubory/duplicit.zip (UPDATE) Version 1.1 is out: "Now it can work with files with read-only attributes."

Mateusz's Saucy Editor ("MSEDIT")
2008-10-14 11:31 - The FreeDOS Project
Mateusz Viste writes: "Just wanted to announce a new (very minor) release of Mateusz's Saucy Editor: MSEDIT. What's new in v0.11 [12 Oct 2008]: - Fixed a bug in TAB handling (was ignored), - Added a (rather simplistic) "Compile & Run" function when in FB mode. Basically, the only change worth noticing is the "Compile & Run" command which is working now (MSEDIT is designed to be used as an IDE for FreeBASIC). No configuration possible so far: FBC has to be in the %PATH%. MSEDIT will simply launch "fbc file.bas", and then "file.exe". I hope I will be able to improve that soon."

Unicode text editor Mined
2008-10-05 19:54 - The FreeDOS Project
Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive yet concise and easy-to-use user interface supporting modern interaction paradigms, and fast, small-footprint behaviour. Mined provides both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many specific features and covering special cases that other editors are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling of terminal variations, or Han character information). It was the first editor that supported Unicode in a plain-text terminal (like xterm or rxvt). Mined is also available for DOS - check it out at http://www.towo.net/mined/ Mined is free software provided under the GNU Public License.
