FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.<br /><br />FreeDOS aims to be a complete, free, 100% MS-DOS compatible operating system (mostly achieved except Windows compatibility - Windows standard-mode works on FreeDOS, but 386-mode / WfW 3.11 does not.) See our Bug Tracker for details. A short list of things possible with FreeDOS today:<br /><br /> Easy multiboot with Win95-2003 and NT/XP/ME<br /> FAT32 file system and large disk support (LBA)<br /> LFN support (with several tools, and FreeCOM (COMMAND.COM).)<br /> LBACACHE - disk cache (harddisks in CHS and LBA mode, diskette)<br /> Memory Managers: HIMEM, EMM386, UMBPCI<br /> SHSUCDX (MSCDEX replacement) and CD-ROM driver (XCDROM)<br /> CUTEMOUSE - Mouse driver with scroll wheel support<br /> FDAPM - APM info/control/suspend/poweroff, ACPI throttle, HLT energy saving...<br /> XDMA - UDMA driver for DOS: up to 4 harddisks<br /> MPXPLAY - media player for mp3, ogg, wmv... with built-in AC97 and SB16 drivers<br /> 7ZIP, INFO-ZIP zip & unzip... - modern archivers are available for DOS<br /> EDIT / SETEDIT - multi window text editors<br /> HTMLHELP - help viewer, can read help directly from a zip file<br /> PG - powerful text viewer (similar to V. D. Buerg's LIST)<br /> many text mode programs ported from Linux thanks to DJGPP<br /> GRAPHICS - greyscale hardcopy on ESC/P, HP PCL and PostScript printers<br /> etc.<br />
