   Re: D'Bridge (Free)DOS + BINKD   
      
   
   On 11 Nov 18  14:56:31, Deon said the following to Nick Andre:   
      
   D> I just downloaded D'Bridge to have a play. I know it can do BINKD in Windows   
   D> environments - is it possible to have BINKD in DOS? FreeDOS has a network    
   D> stack   
   D> and it would be great it the BINKD component could run there.   
      
   I don't think its impossible, but its impossible for me to offer tech-support    
   for such a scenario. You would be on your own and I am not liable for any    
   problems, lost mail, system crash, dogs and cats living together, mass    
   hysteria for attempting any of this.   
      
   The problem here is that it could take some tap-dancing to make things work.   
      
   D'Bridge uses every trick in the book to even run on MS-DOS; and the memory    
   usage is the concern here - It will depend on how much is left in the base    
   640k after the network stack is used. When D'Bridge swaps out to call BinkD,    
   there is also a resident TSR which remains when the shell-code runs.
