Microsoft Word 5.5 for DOS - the EXE is hosted on Microsoft's servers free for the taking.

Get it now before it's no longer available! http://www.downloads...1/25/free-file/

Runs in a Windows NTVDM Command Prompt.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but on Win7, it doesn't work. (first it complains about not being able to run fullscreen and after that it crashes because of a .PIF file)

Try running the Command Prompt in Administrator mode. I use it on XP and it works peachy keen... as does ROTT and some of my other DOS games, which surprised me.

Has anyone got (or know where to get) a NTP client program for a Network Time Server?

Many thanks.

Well, googling for:
DOS NTP client program for a Network Time Server


gives this:
http://josh.com/SNTPC/index.htm

and this (win09x - not DOS):
http://nettime.sourceforge.net/

See also here:

It seems like the Delaware University program can be compiled for DOS too

Many thanks, Jaclaz.

It shows the power of choosing the search terms correctly! In the searches that I had made, I was overwhelmed with dross, I couldn't see the useful information.

I've been trying to update my boot disks to be more general and work for modern hardware. I have had few real victories (admist all the USB device headaches, namely keyboard and mouse), but I thought I'd share what I found:

GCDROM - a CD/DVD driver for DOS that works with SATA drives. Worked pretty well the 2 minor times I tested it.
http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm.cgi?mod...base/gcdrom.lsm

And while these are pretty raw in development they show much more promise than the USBASPI/DI1000DD combo (one was even made to have an open API it seems). Hopefully one of them will eventually be reasonably complete and stable:

DOSUSB - http://www.georgpotthast.de/usb/

and

USBDOS - http://bretjohnson.us/

Yeah, you're right, I thought that much, it looked very familiar when I (re)visited it not long ago.
I just forgot its old URL, I guess.

Need some help ... advice with installing the DOS USB drivers mentioned in Post #27.
I am interested in the USBDOS - http://bretjohnson.us/ package. There are around 28 items + a ReadMe file in the download but I am not sure how to put them on my machine or where. That package is dated Jan 30, 2010. Do I "drag and drop" or "copy and paste", if so, to what folder in Windows or do I click on each item to install?

thanks ...

[jaclaz]

@duffy98
It is much more complex than what you think.

Please start a new thread where we can discuss this issue without hijacking the present thread.

QubeCalc 301 © Copyright FormalSoft 1986-87

http://vetusware.com...203.01/?id=3902 or http://xpda.com/floppies/qubecalc.zip It seems to be freeware at this time

QubeCalc is a TRUE three dimensional spreadsheet (as opposed to some two dimensional spreadsheets which let you link cells of multiple spreadsheets together). It's a cube of colomns, rows, pages. View side of cube and pages become columns etc etc.

I don't know of any modern spreadsheet that can do this. I've used it for birding records since 89, I even paid 70 bucks for it back then.

Nice forum, congratulations.

I have a really neat DOS game (that I can't beat) that wants a "univibe 2.0" DOS video driver, to run at a resolution higher than 400.
Has anyone else run into this before?
Does anyone know where I can obtain this or know a way around it?


regards,

Umm, probably the latter, I was working off of memory there -my pc was burning a disk and I couldn't boot up the game to check the spelling.

"YES/YES".
Lol. Are you now, or have you ever been a lawyer? ("Do you know what time it is?" "Yes.")

Thank you kindly,

If any1 still looking for UniVBE tools, >here< they are...

Mirror of all ScitTech display doctor + univbe files [now abandoned freeware].

I have 2 questions.

The links and drivers and programs that are being recommended here -is this stuff someone's heard about, or stuff someone's used; I.e., there's a difference between "I heard about this place", and "I've ran this program and it works"

It turns out I had an updated Univbe program, which I've installed (haven't run the game yet to see how it looks); does anyone want me to upload it here somewhere? Is it something anyone else can use?
