-
- GNUish MSDOS was first organized with small IBM PC's in mind, that is,
- 8088 and 80286 based systems. For 80386 or 80486 based systems, you
- should rather take a close look at DJ Delorie's works and derivatives;
- these ports have their own set of mailing lists and distribution
- points. For OS/2 ports, people should follow the works of Kai Uwe
- Rommel and Eberhard Mattes; I've also heard that many OS/2 ports could
- be easily made usable under MSDOS with a special link step on OS/2.
-
- This MSDOS file (also called README) is the work of various people,
- collected by Francois Pinard. The FSF disclaimer (below) is from
- Richard Stallman.
-
- .--------------------.
- | PROJECT DEFINITION |
- `--------------------'
-
- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is not directly interested in
- integrating or maintaining ports of GNU software to MSDOS, because of
- limited resources. These activities take time away from finishing a
- complete standalone GNU, which FSF and many in the GNU Project
- considers much more important.
-
- However, the organized distribution of such ports started, a few years
- ago, under the name "GNUish MSDOS project". The overall idea is to
- provide a GNU like environment for MSDOS, easy to get, and easy to
- install, as far as possible. It contains both MSDOS ports of GNU
- software, as well as MSDOS replacements for non-ported GNU software.
-
- The GNUish MSDOS project wants to consider itself as part of the GNU
- project, rather than a mere aggregation of binaries. The non-GNU
- replacements are expected to somewhat comply with the GNU spirit and
- standards. Ideally, all code should be under the GNU General Public
- License, should try conforming to the GNU coding standards, and also
- be fully ANSI. The programs should be such that MSDOS users can be
- convinced of the virtues of free software!
-
- The GNU General Public License article 3a) requires that the complete
- source code be available where programs are distributed in object code
- or executable form. For convenience, ready-to-execute binaries are
- also provided for those who do not have the necessary compilers, or do
- not feel like using them.
-
- When several ports of the same tool exist, one of them has been
- selected for inclusion in this README file. This does not means that
- the selected port is the best possible, it means however that the port
- seems to be good. Nobody should feel offended by any selection.
- Questions regarding the GNUish MS-DOS project should be directed to
- the mailing list:
-
- help-gnu-msdos@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
-
- (see below for how to subscribe).
-
- The GNUish MSDOS project originated from Thorsten Ohl. It has been
- moderated by Thorsten from its beginning and for a long while.

- .-------------------.
- | ARCHIVING FORMATS |
- `-------------------'
-
- Traditionally, GNUish MSDOS archives are made using Rahul Dhesi's zoo
- archiver. This archive format is popular and portable, used in many
- places, notably for the Usenet comp.binaries.ibm.pc exchange group.
- The GNUish MSDOS project selected it because it works both on MSDOS
- and UNIX, and all the sources are freely available. Moreover, it
- offers a nice user interface and is dependable.
-
- Some people wanted GNUish MSDOS to use zip for its better compression,
- but zip was proprietary software at that time. A new version of zoo
- (version 2.1) offers a higher compression rate, comparable to what zip
- can achieve. About at the same time, the Info-ZIP group produced a
- zip program available in source form, and which work both on MSDOS and
- UNIX. There is no more big reasons for using one instead of another.
-
- Also, some sites converted all of GNUish MSDOS to ARC or LHarc format.
- Instead of feeding an archivers war, let us simply hope that each
- archive site will follow the GNU spirit and at least offer the free
- archiver they use, both in executable and complete source form.
-
- Most packages consists of two archives, one for the complete source
- and documentation, the other for the executable and data files;
- however, it happens that the documentation is rather provided with the
- executables. The filename for a package archive is often selected
- according to the following pattern:
-
- <program><version><edition><sequence>.<extension>
-
- In this syntax, <program> is a short string to identify the product,
- v.g. `futi' indicates GNU file utilities; while <version> is a decimal
- integer naming the version, without any decimal point, v.g. `14' for
- `1.4', 358 for `3.58'; <edition> is `a' for the first release in
- GNUish MSDOS, then `b', `c', etc. for subsequent editions. The value
- of <sequence> is the letter `s' for the source and documentation, or
- `x' for executable and data files. When <extension> is `zoo', this
- usually refers to Zoo version 2.1.
-
- .-------------------.
- | FTP ARCHIVE SITES |
- `-------------------'
-
- The official GNU home is prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38]. There is
- currently no room on prep.ai.mit.edu to put GNUish MSDOS files up for
- ftp. If prep get more disk space, they might become available. The
- collection of programs known as the GNUish MSDOS project is still
- available for ftp at the following addresses. Different archiving
- sites might use different archivers. The actual extension of any
- given archive should give you a clue about which archiver to use.
- [Upload directories are listed for the moderator's convenience only].
-
- The expression "from the usual places", later in this document, refers
- to the three first sites of this list.
-
- * iros1.iro.umontreal.ca [132.204.32.21], in pub/Internet/gnuish.
-
- Archives are uploaded there first.
-
- * vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu [130.49.33.16], in pub/pc/gnudos.
-
- Archives are uploaded in [incoming] from the iros1 copy, then
- Roberto move them to their proper place.
-
- * wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4], in systems/msdos/gnuish.
-
- Archives are uploaded in place directly from the iros1 copy.
-
- * wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [192.88.110.20], in pd1:<msdos.gnuish>.
-
- David repacks from .zoo to .arc before uploading, because SIMTEL20
- (which uses TOPS20) does not support .zoo files.
-
- * funic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100], in pub/msdos/utilities/gnuish.
-
- Petri automatically gets new products from SIMTEL20, and repacks
- files from .arc to .lzh. [pub/msdos/incoming]
-
- The organization and maintainance of the archive sites is the work of
- Francois Pinard, Roberto Gomez, Petri Hartoma, David Camp, Keith
- Petersen, Chris Myers, Dave Curry and Russ Nelson.
-
- .-----------------------.
- | GNUISH MSDOS CONTENTS |
- `-----------------------'
-
- The following contents of GNUish MSDOS is loosely organized along the
- lines of related UNIX man pages.
-
- * awk(1)
-
- GNU awk current GNU version is 2.13.2. There is a faster awk, also
- distributed under the GNU General Public License, written by Mike
- Brennan. For the original distribution, fetch executables in
- mawk1_1.zip and sources in mawk1.1.tar.Z from oxy.edu, in public.
- Or fetch executables in mawk11ax.zoo and sources in mawk11as.zoo at
- the usual places.
-
- * cc(1)
-
- GNU C current GNU version is 2.0. There is no port of GNU C
- available for 8088 and 80286 systems, and this is very unlikely
- that there would ever be one. So, GNUish MSDOS is still relying on
- proprietary compilers for its existence. Currently, ports have
- been done using Microsoft C compilers or Borland Turbo C/C++; it
- seems so far that Microsoft C generates faster code, works better
- with huge pointers, and offers a working alloca(); but promoting
- proprietary software is against the GNU goals, any step in the
- direction of compiler independence would be beneficial for the
- community.
-
- GNU C had indeed been ported to 80386 MSDOS, under the name djgpp,
- by DJ Delorie. This opens wide doors for porting further GNU
- software for 80386 systems under MSDOS, for those many GNU programs
- requiring a fair amount of addressing space. However, beware that
- djgpp based ports always require a 80386 machine.
-
- DJ Delorie made a 32-bit 80386 MSDOS extender with symbolic
- debugger, a C/C++ compiler with utilities, development libraries,
- and source code. It generates full 32-bit programs and supports
- full virtual memory with paging to disk. A 80386-based IBM
- compatible PC or PS/2 is required. Approximately 4-5Mb of hard
- drive space is required. 640K RAM is required.
-
- All this can be anonymously ftp'ed from barnacle.erc.clarkson.edu
- [128.153.28.12] in pub/msdos/djgpp. *First* fetch and carefully
- read the `readme' file from that directory; or else `MSDOS.gcc',
- from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38], in pub/gnu/MicrosPorts. File
- README.gcc should also be available from the usual places.
-
- * compress(1)
-
- compress current GNU version is 4.0.1. GNUish MSDOS has not
- selected any current port yet.
-
- * cpio(1)
-
- GNU cpio current GNU version is 1.5. Version 1.1 has been ported
- to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl. Fetch executables in cpio11ax.zoo and
- sources in cpio11as.zoo from the usual places. You also need
- Thorsten Ohl's gnulib to compile it.
-
- * ctags(1)
-
- GNU [ce]tags current GNU version comes from GNU Emacs distribution,
- currently 18.58. Russ Nelson made a version for Freemacs. For the
- original distribution, fetch etags.zip from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
- [128.153.28.129], in pub/msdos/freemacs. Or fetch the executables
- and sources as etags.zoo from the usual places.
-
- * diff(1)
-
- GNU diff current GNU version is 1.15. Version 1.15 has been ported
- to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl, using Microsoft C v5.1 or v6.0. Fetch
- executables in dif115ax.zoo and sources in dif115as.zoo from the
- usual places.
-
- * emacs(1)
-
- GNU Emacs current GNU version is 18.58. There is no port of GNU
- Emacs available for 8088 and 80286 systems, and this is very
- unlikely that there would ever be one. Any Emacs for small MSDOS
- systems only implements a tiny subset of the true thing.
-
- Russ Nelson's Freemacs is closest in spirit to the real thing, by
- providing a full extension language. Version 1.6a can be gotten from
- various places (clarkson, wustl, simtel, ...). It is made of a
- MINT interpreter written in 8088 assembler, and of several MINT
- code application files to drive Emacs modes. MINT has no relation
- to GNU Emacs LISP and limits itself to 64k per file. For the
- original distribution, fetch all from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
- [128.153.28.129], in pub/msdos/freemacs. Or fetch the executables
- code as emacs16a.zoo (plus emacs100.zoo for a Zenith Z-100) and the
- sources as emac16as.zoo, from the usual places; also fetch some EGA
- utilities as emacsega.zoo and a spelling checker as emacspel.zoo.
- You might want to fetch emacspat.zoo too for a few patches, applied
- by Freemacs itself.
-
- Jonathan Payne's JOVE, on the other side, is not extendable, but can
- handle surprisingly big files on MSDOS. It is well featured and
- reasonably fast. It can be made almost comfortable to GNU Emacs
- users, given a proper `jove.rc'.
-
- GNU Emacs has indeed been ported to 80386 MSDOS by Manabu Higashida
- and Hirano Satoshi, under the name Demacs, using DJ Delorie port of
- GNU C. The current version is 1.2.0 91-12-12. Fetch binaries and
- diffs from utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp, in GNU/demacs.
-
- Craig Finseth maintains a list of Emacs Implementations and
- Literature; fetch emacs from mail.unet.umn.edu [128.101.101.103],
- in import. There is a summary about MSDOS specific Emacs'es; fetch
- editor.Z from math.princeton.edu [128.112.128.157], in
- pub/rjc/csip; if you cannot ftp, obtain a copy by sending email to
- the server program at rjc@math.princeton.edu, with a blank subject
- line, and containing solely the two words: `send editor'.
-
- * find(1)
-
- GNU find current GNU version is 3.4, comprising: find, locate and
- xargs. Version 1.2 has been ported to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl.
- Fetch executables in find12ax.zoo and sources in find12as.zoo from
- the usual places. You also need Thorsten Ohl's gnulib to compile
- it. Fetch find12.zoo from the usual places. Be careful to use
- `zoo x//' while unpacking both archives.
-
- * file/text utilities(1)
-
- GNU File Utilities current GNU version is 3.1, comprising: chgrp,
- chmod, chown, cp, dd, df, dir, du, install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo,
- mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, touch and vdir. GNU Text Utilities current
- GNU version is 1.2, comprising: cat, cmp, comm, csplit, cut,
- expand, fold, head, join, nl, paste, pr, sort, split, sum, tac,
- tail, tr, unexpand, uniq, wc.
-
- GNU Text Utilities historically emerged from GNU File Utilities;
- and version 1.4 have been ported to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl before
- this split has been done. The ported programs are: cat, chmod,
- cmp, cp, cut, dd, dir, head, ls, mkdir, mv, paste, rmdir, tac,
- tail, touch, vdir and rm. Fetch executables in futi14ax.zoo and
- sources in futi14as.zoo from the usual places.
-
- Look elsewhere in this document for GNU sort.
-
- * ghostscript(1)
-
- Ghostscript comes with an MSDOS executable.
-
- * grep(1)
-
- GNU fgrep current GNU version is 1.1. Version 1.1 has been ported
- to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl. Fetch executables in fgre11ax.zoo and
- sources in fgre11as.zoo from the usual places.
-

- has been ported to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl. Fetch executables in
- m4v05ax.zoo and sources in m4v05as.zoo from the usual places. You
- also need Thorsten Ohl's gnulib to compile it.
-
- * make(1)
-
- GNU make current GNU version is 3.62.2. Version 3.58 has been
- ported to MSDOS by Thorsten Ohl, using Microsoft C v6.0. Fetch
- executables in mak358ax.zoo and sources in mak358as.zoo from the
- usual places. You also need Thorsten Ohl's swapping library, fetch
- swalibas.zoo from the usual places. If you intend to recompile
- make, beware that one patch has been lost for the `makefile' in
- make358as.zoo, so the makefile might not work as is.
-
- * patch(1)
-
- Larry Wall's patch current GNU version is 2.0.12u5. GNUish MSDOS
- has not selected any current port yet.
-
- * perl(1)

- .-----------------------.
- | PROJECT MAILING LISTS |
- `-----------------------'
-
- There are some mailing lists to discuss MSDOS ports of GNU software.
- They include:
-
- bug-gnu-msdos@sun.soe.clarkson.edu bug reports, enhancements
- help-gnu-msdos@sun.soe.clarkson.edu questions and answers
- info-gnu-msdos@sun.soe.clarkson.edu announcements, moderated
- djgpp@sun.soe.clarkson.edu 80386 djgpp discussions
-
- To get on or off one of these lists, send a request to:
-
- listserv@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.
-
- or, if you don't get a reply, to:
-
- bug-gnu-msdos-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
- help-gnu-msdos-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
- info-gnu-msdos-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
- djgpp-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
-
- Note: do *not* send requests to the lists, only the listserv!
-
- For example, to become subscribed to the list info-gnu-msdos, send a
- message whose contents (not the Subject) is:
-
- add info-gnu-msdos
-
- If you don't know how to use a listserv, send it a request for help.
- Do this by sending it a mail message consisting of the word "help",
- without quotes, of course. If you don't get a reply, include an
- Internet return address with the command "path user@host.dom.ain",
- replacing user@host.dom.ain with your Internet email address.
-
- The lists are not currently digestified, and are open to subscription
- by anyone. The info-gnu-msdos mailing list is moderated by Russell
- Nelson, solely to ensure that only announcements get sent to the list
- (and not requests!). Problems with the mailing lists should be
- directed to the appropriate -request list. For the newcomers: an
- Internet standard for mailing lists is to provide a mail alias that
- has the same name as the list, with "-request" appended, e.g.
- info-gnu-msdos-request.
-
- Also, please consider these lists as GNU project subsidiary mailing
- lists. They were made up after the GNUish MSDOS project, not before,
- and their intent is to help to keep to project moving, *not* to change
- its definition or meaning. There are several lists already and other
- means to discuss non-GNUish software for MSDOS; there are other lists
- to discuss the pros and cons of the GNU project itself.
-
- The mailing lists were organized by David Camp, Len Tower, Russ
- Nelson and DJ Delorie.
-
- .------------------.
- | HISTORICAL NOTES |
- `------------------'
-
- Thorsten Ohl started his ports in November 1989, in Germany, while the
- Berlin Wall was falling. He suscribed at some GNU mailing lists and,
- for correspondants wanting his MSDOS ports, organized a `distribution
- list' based on email and still located in Germany. In 1990, around
- spring, the unusual quality of Thorsten ports was being recognized,
- and a few FTP sites organized to hold them (vulcan, simtel, wuarchive,
- ocf, funic); during the summer, the mailing lists were created.
- Thorsten stopped actively porting GNU products to MSDOS in September
- 1990, to finish his PhD and continue his research in theoretical high
- energy physics. He has now joined the endless list of people who
- support GNU by using GNU software on their UNIX workstations and
- contribute bug reports and (occasionally) fixes.
-
- At this point, the mailing lists, after an initial burst of intense
- activity and many debates, became very quiet, and nothing really new
- got added to the GNUish MSDOS archives. DJ Delorie released his 80386
- port of GNU C/C++, and GNU Emacs itself was ported to 80386 under the
