Ercan Ersoy shares a brief update that FreeDOS TUI Shell and Minibox have moved to a new site. You may remember the TUI Shell is a full-screen text-mode "shell" that provides a file manager and other internal apps. Minibox provides simple Linux-like commands for limited memory systems, all in one command utility. Ercan says he will not be using GitHub or GitLab for the next versions. You can find the new sites at Ercan's personal website: TUI Shell and Minibox.

I've started recording videos about FreeDOS and posting them to our FreeDOS channel on YouTube. I'm starting with some introductory topics, like how to use CD and DIR to navigate FreeDOS, a brief introduction to FDCONFIG.SYS, some features of FreeDOS EDIT, and even a quick primer to using Visicalc. If you're new to programming, check out the programming "how-to" video about ECHO and TYPE. New videos are posted weekly! Let me know your favorite FreeDOS topic and maybe I can cover that in a future video.

Dr. Mind is a PC adaptation of a well-known board game. The computer generates a secret color code, and the player has to figure out the exact pattern within 8 turns. After each turn, the computer provides clues about how many colors matched the solution. The game features a set of 24 pictures that are initially blured - every time you work out a valid code combination, you are rewarded with a picture. Published under the CC BY-ND 4.0 license, which is roughly equivalent to "freeware with source code". You can find it at SourceForge.
