Hi! I am working on my own file compression techniques and am having problems with my rendition of the Adaptive Huffman Codes technique: the whole output is corrupt. I don't know what's causing this. I attached some example code in the hopes that somebody here can tell me what I'm doing wrong. It is …

GoTec seems to be a hardware-based floppy drive emulator, but the system has a real floppy drive. I want a software-based system to temporarily replace the hardware with a disk image file. Again, I can copy over installations from DOSBox-X.

Hi! In the past, I downloaded a lot of programs from REMOVED and most of them came in the form of .7z archives containing .img files. I've been able to mount them on a Win11/64 laptop under DOXBox-X. However, I want to install them on a Win98SE tower. I can decompress them to floppies but want a …

Hi! On my Win98SE tower, I used to have a RAMdrive installed. It was called RDSK98V5. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall it because it was causing problems with the graphics driver. :( I really want it, though, as it's faster, and I like RAMdrives. I also want it for my experiments with file …

I got the sound to work in Windows mode: it was my fault: I had the head phones in the wrong socket. It works now. :) And when I tried a DOS-based emulator in Windows mode, the sound also worked, and the settings were Sound Blaster Pro, IRQ 5 and DMA 1, but I don't know if those were the actual …

BTW, I have a similar problem with a Win7/32 laptop. The sound card driver is installed and says the card is …

Hi! I need some help with Stacker4, namely how to automount a disk and not write a extra driver to each floppy being compressed. I just Googled it but, other than WorldCat, which wants me to buy the hardcopy, didn't find it. Where can I get the manual? If necessary, I can use batch files to mount …

Never mind: I killed a driver that I probably won't always need--DOSLFN--as I can start it from the command prompt, and now, not only was QEMM able to load everything high, but I have more UMB memory. I don't know why that happed, but I'm happy. 😀

I couldn't access two DriveSpace floppies, so I'll use Stacker instead. BTW, how do I get Stacker to automatically mount a floppy? Also, when it compresses a floppy, it adds a driver to mount the floppy outside of Stacker. As far as I'm concerned, it's a waste of space. How do I disable that feature …
