Welcome to FreeDOS

Oberon is Niklaus Wirth's successor to Pascal and Modula-2 — a small, strongly-typed systems language. This project implements a practical DOS dialect of Oberon-07: the core language "plus what real 16-bit systems programming needs." Programmers who are interested in experimenting with a programming language that was meant to succeed Pascal, find it at DosWorld's Trubo Oberon at GitHub.

Michael Brutman created an interesting project, a basic packet driver that enables you to use the DaynaPORT SCSI/Link Ethernet device under DOS. These devices were usually used on early Macintosh computers which had SCSI controllers but not much else for expandability. Today these devices are somewhat hard to find but they are emulated by devices like BlueSCSI and ZuluSCSI. If you would like to use the DaynaPORT for networking on FreeDOS, download it at the project on GitHub.

We set up a FreeDOS store on Zazzle in 2011 so folks could buy stickers, tshirts, mugs, ties, and other items with the FreeDOS logo on them. However, maintaining the store is starting to become a hassle, so we're planning to close the Zazzle store a month from now, in August. This is your last chance to buy stickers and tshirts if you want them.

NASM is the Netwide Assembler, an assembler for the x86 CPU architecture. NASM 3.02 was recently released with updates and fixes which should be interesting to assembly programmers. Read more in the change log. Download the new version from release build 3.02 on the NASM website. We've also mirrored the new release in the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio, at /devel/asm/nasm

FreeDOS Kernel is the core part of FreeDOS that provides DOS services (program loading, file and device I/O, memory management, and the INT 21h API most DOS software uses). Kernel 2046 is an incremental maintenance release with edge‑case fixes and compatibility updates. Changes in this release include: - bugfix: CD on remote Lantastic mapped drives - bugfix: print to Lantastic redirected printers - misc: port some improvements from FDPP (Stas & Andrew) - bugfix: move control-break handler off stack, fix Invisible Lan redir - bugfix: rework truename so when on mapped drive with invalid CDS properly resolves character devices (i.e. fix copy CON). Thanks to Andrew Bird and Jeremy Davis for these updates to the FreeDOS Kernel! You can find it at FreeDOS Kernel at GitHub or more directly from the FreeDOS Kernel 2046 release tag. We've also mirrored this to the FreeDOS Files Archive at Ibiblio, under files/dos/kernel.

FDNPKG16 is a Network Package Manager for FreeDOS, which runs in 16-bit mode. Victoria has been making updates to the package manager, and recently released a new update. Victoria share these changes: "- cleaned a bunch of code - added basic error levels - fixed a potential bug with an error catcher and lsxflag - fixed the untested open watcom 1.9 compiling with the makefile in DOS." FDNPKG16 is open source, under the MIT license. You can download the new release from FDNPKG16 at GitHub or more directly as a zip file at fdnpkg16·zip. This is also mirrored on Victoria's personal server at fdnpkg16·zip.
