On Feb. 23, the Beez released 4tH 3.62.2. To quote the overview of changes from his timeline: "The preprocessor saw a major overhaul, getting its own C wrapper and numerous new enhancements. Several encryption routines were added (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256), coroutines and quotations. A tiny webserver was added to the examples." Feel free to visit the homepage or SourceForge or our iBiblio mirror to grab binaries and sources. Also check his Google Group for more status updates. Enjoy!
FreeDOS is almost 20 years old
2014-03-04 8:11
In a June 29, 1994 post to USENET, we announced a "public domain" DOS which later became the FreeDOS Project: "Announcing the first effort to produce a PD-DOS. I have written up a 'manifest' describing the goals of such a project and an outline of the work, as well as a 'task list' that shows exactly what needs to be written. I'll post those here, and let discussion follow?" Since then, we have advanced what DOS could do, adding new functionality and making DOS easier to use. And in 2014, people continue to use FreeDOS to support embedded systems, run business software, and play classic DOS games! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of FreeDOS, be sure to pick up a tshirt, mug, or other goodie from our FreeDOS store at Zazzle. We don't actually make money from this - we provide the FreeDOS store so you can find cool FreeDOS swag.
UIDE etc. (Jan. 26)

On Jan. 26, Jack Ellis updated his UIDE etc. drivers. Changes: "UIDE error handling CD/DVD media-changes for 'stand alone' mode is fixed (caching UIDE was unaffected!). UHDD now offers a 'Common' cache plus a 'CD/DVD' cache for UDVD2. NO change to non-cached UHDD/UDVD2 driver sizes!" See his freedos-user post for more details.
