MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LIST 2.4.1, Jan 22 2000 Hi! If you are a new reader of fd-dev, welcome! If you have already been a list member for some time, then you can skip this as you probably are familiar with its content anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS Mailing list: 1. DON'T BE A POTTY MOUTH. We don't want this mailing list to become what USENET usually is. 2. DON'T POST OFF-TOPIC. Remember, we set up this mailing list to discuss FreeDOS issues. 3. NO FLAME WARS. If you feel really strongly against what someone has said, send a private email. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is a popular system, and there is plenty of hardware out there that supports DOS. The official home of the FreeDOS Project is: http://www.freedos.org Visit the FreeDOS Documentation Project (FD-DOC) at http://www.freedos.org/fd-doc/ to learn how to use FreeDOS. The FreeDOS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list can be found at http://www.freedos.org/fd-doc/faq.html Would you like to contribute to the FreeDOS Project? Jim Hall has started a Contribution HOWTO, as a place to start. Look for it at http://www.freedos.org/fd-doc/contrib-howto.html Report problems to the bug database at http://www.freedos.org/bugs/ Many programs have already been written for the FreeDOS Project. You can see which ones by looking at the Maintainers List, which is at http://www.freedos.org/software/. The Base list shows the FreeDOS programs that reproduce the functionaly of MS-DOS. Yes, some still need to be written. If you would like to find some of the other web sites that apply to FreeDOS, you may want to check out the FreeDOS web ring. The web ring can be found at http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~z63rrl/freedos/fdwr/ Thanks for taking an interest in FreeDOS!
