We posted the manual of Medley Interlisp for MS-DOS originally published in 1993:

Please note that this version of Medley is old and partially broken.
Plate Mail is solid metal armour providing good protection against body injuries, but requiring skill Dodging:5 to use effectively. Melee characters will want this to tackle the deeper levels of the dungeon. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The first DLC for #TeamDroid was Double Trouble, every level having 2 droids, 2 cards, 2 readers. The first level requires droids to cooperate, the droid inside the central enclosure pushing data cards out to the droid outside, which takes them to the card readers.

Heyo all.
Regarding retro gaming again, some of my favorite ones were for ms dos. These include shareware only games too! So, some of them were Mechwarrior 2, I spent more time customizing mechs than actually playing the game, and would often listen to soundtrack on a cd player too!
Other ms dos games of note, include wolfenstein 3d, I made levels and edited sprites in that game as a kid.
Doom of course too, fooled around with modding for it briefly and now I just play levels i find on doomworld and zdoom sites.
Stunts, a fun racing game where you could make your own courses. So much fun!
Quake, also endless levels and modding.
Monuments of mars, fun little 2d platformer.
Descent 1 and 2, great 6 degrees of freedom shooter. Played it online against friends a lot.
Duke nukem 3d. Infamous, but the level editing for it was so easy to do and game itself was pretty fun, especially playing with and against friends online!
Commander keen. Fun little platformer as well.
Skyroads. Great f zero style game!
Corncob 3d. Fun flight sim, you could even get out of the plane and walk wherever on foot.
MegatronVGA. Mech game where you fought mechs in a maze.
Sango fighter, fun street fighter clone.
One must fall 2097, great street fighter clone with awesome music.
Epic pinball, fun pinball game!
Lemmings, great puzzle game.
Stellar 7 and nova 9, battlezone style games that actually had a plot and powerups you could activate and hidden warps and other fun things.
I played all these games and more on a Radio Shack Tandy 1000. Great machine!
Destroyers are the smallest sea combat units. They have little firepower and a short range, and are lightly armoured. They can navigate both deep and shallow water, although they can't navigate too close to the sandbanks. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld
Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills

It is even more amusing when you spot the old MS-DOS TSR program named GOLD.COM being redacted in the same document. We aren't supposed to know what GOLD22.ZIP contains, apparently.
Not without finding an old Simtel CD, at any rate. (-:
https://discmaster.textfiles.com/view/10857/simtel_1193.iso/msdos/keyboard/files.bbs
There's supposed to be a legal explanation published for every redaction. What do you think it is going to be for blacking out the name of an MS-DOS TSR utility program?

In the Ice Cave
And this is my drawing based on Final Fantasy 4 (SNES). A magic spell, like a magic carpet, transports you to an ice cave. It's bright here. Because the ice glows and reflects a lot of light. It's magic ice. Absolutely. You land on your feet. And look around! Everything around is made of ice. A real ice cave!

Deutsche MS-DOS 6.22 Bootdiskette mit EMS + XMS + Netzwerk + FTP
Diese Bootdiskette stellt neben einem Bootmenü für XMS und EMS Speicherkonfigurationen und möglichst viel freiem konventionellem Speicher auch ein Beispiel für ein kleines Netzwerk bzw. einen FTP-Server auf dem Retro-PC (z.B. einen 486DX2-66) bereit, um den Datenaustausch zu erleichtern.

BIOS Limit von 504 MB für Festplatten umgehen mit FAT32, dank EZ-Drive
Ältere 386/486 Mainboards bis 1994 erkennen im BIOS zwar vermeintlich mehr als 504 MB, aber letztendlich lässt sich eine Festplatte unter MS-DOS oder Windows 95/98 trotzdem nur mit maximal 504 MB ansprechen und partitionieren.
Um trotzdem mehr als dieses Limit nutzen zu können, gibt es diverse Lösungsmöglichkeiten mit Vor- und Nachteilen:

Nemanja Trifunovic attempts a balanced answer to the question: "how much of the CP/M design beyond the API was adopted by MS-DOS?"

The Hostage mission has a clear focus: find the named individual and get them out alive. Hostages need to be cut free; if your team doesn't have a blade you'll need to find one. https://cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-combat-class #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
The Plate is a dining vessel made of precious metal and gemstones, found down in the dungeon. Some plates have an enchantment or curse that affects the player character when wielded. The merchant will buy plates found in the dungeon. Sometimes a particular plate is the object of your quest.

Das hier ist ein Song, den ich vor über 30 Jahren unter #mSDOS mit #Fasttracker2 produziert habe.
#Demoscene natürlich :)
You remember how the #MSDOS FAT file system would get fragmented easily and need to #defrag all the time?
I'm vaguely under the impression that #Linux 's implementation of FAT is cleverer at allocating space and will avoid letting files get fragmented in the first place.
That's neat how an old file system can be improved without changing the on-disk format at all, just implementing it better.
