Today marks another release of the DOS debugger “with the small L”: lDebug. This line-oriented debugger is a fork originally based on the 2008 version 1.13 of FreeDOS Debug/X, with a number of additions. Release 9 marks some bugfixes, a new revision of the lDebug/lDOS boot protocol for FAT32 drives, and the immediate assembler feature now enabled at build time. There’s a longer announcement on the freedos-user list. Get lDebug release 9 from ecm’s website. We’ve also mirrored this release in the FreeDOS Files Archive at Ibiblio, under /dos/debug/ldebug

Around twenty years ago, people would have laughed if you told them that videogames would end up at the Smithsonian, but the Half-Life team really did want to make games that were more than just throwaway toys. The rule against cinematics — which made our jobs much harder and also ended up leaving a lot […]

Weil ich gerade einen kleinen „Retro-Flash“ habe und an verschiedenen dazugehörigen Dingen arbeite, kann ich jetzt vom Stand meiner ältesten CD-R-Medien berichten. OK, nicht die allerältesten (1996 – da war fast meine einzige Anwendung Audio-CDs fürs Auto zu brennen, nicht zufällig damit zusammentreffend, dass CDBurn https://www.hubersn-software.com/cdburn.html noch keinen eigenen ISO9660-Formatter an Bord hatte, aber schon gute Audio-Möglichkeiten), aber ziemlich alt.
