VFSdos 2.02

VFSdos is a DOS shell console, text-based environment for Palm handheld computers equipped with a VFS expansion slot (such as the m505, Clie, Handera and TRGpro). VFSdos is very similar to the good old COMMAND.COM. Its not only used for simple DOS file operations - its a DOS environment were VFSdos applications and batch files can be executed from SD/MMC/MC/CF cards. It is targeted to DOS programmers, so they can continue to write and test plain DOS code on their Palm computers.
VFSdos should not be confused as a DOS emulator. It will not run the same DOS programs as your desktop. It will only run VFS DOS applications specifically written for it. Its main use is to allow developers to create command-line / console applications such as command-line assemblers (Im working on a PIC VFSdos assembler at this moment).
VFSdos is not designed to be used as a file management application. There are better solutions for this, such as McFile and TealMover. Its primary use is to provide a console text-based environment for the use and creation of command-line applications using the provided STDIOLIB shared library. It is also for those who miss the old DOS days of the PC (like me :-)
What do you need to run VFSdos: A palm equipped with a VFS expansion slot such as the m505, SONY Clie, or TRGpro (upgraded to OS 3.5.3) and an expansion memory card. You should also have a good knowledge about DOS on your PC. VFSdos is mostly targeted to old DOS programmers such as myself :-) Developers should have a look in the included DEVELOP.ZIP file for information on how to write VFSdos applications.
Enhancements:
- High density support for PalmOS 5 (80x53 screen)
- Color support for text output
- Bug fixes.
