I'm amazed every time this topic comes up! First of all, the order of the parameters is a question of "which makes more sense to which user", not which is "better." English speakers, for example, find SOURCE and then DESTINATION more natural because English also orders them that way. Speakers...

This is the deal breaker for me.

If you really want someone to help you, ;) don't lie to them like that! ;) Or like that! :)

@tech58761 is on the right track, I think. Personally, I've had this same problem and it was what @Ruud said could happen. Do you have another joystick or another computer with an Atari style port you can try?

Well, it looks like you've generated some interest now.

It seems to me that a straightforward approach to using this HD-controller-masquerading-as-a-floppy-controller idea would be to have the drive provide the PC with a minimum of two drives: one a bootable virtual floppy and the other a "regular" HD. This is similar to the approach some external...

I don't think anyone meant to even imply that YOU were a scammer. I'm sorry if what I wrote gave you that impression. Sorry to hear that. I've been there and I know how it can affect you. Understood. Knowing your own problems is half the battle, as they say. I'm glad there are no hard...

The secret is that the keys can be removed by themselves. The keyboard doesn't need to be opened to be cleaned. Using a small screwdriver, carefully pry under a keycap until it comes off. (Two small screwdrivers on opposite sides of the keycap can help lift it off the key more easily if you...

That's what I wanted the (human) translation for, to find out. But, from the Google Translate output, there is enough understandable English to be certain that REXXD is a memory resident program that intercepts the command line from COMMAND.COM and checks to see if a batch file is about to be...

Shouldn't this be a thread in the CP/M and MP/M genre? I don't see what this has to do with Unix/Xenix/Linux.

Did you ever try contacting the guy at fybertech.net for help?

Just what kind of preservation are you looking to do? The DOS version is being sold on GOG.COM as a re-release: https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_dark_heart_of_uukrul

I am actually. It is amazing that it is the oldest REXX version for the PC I've ever come across and yet isn't really ever talked about. (It's not mentioned on REXXLA.org, for example.) The reason I'm interested in REXXD is that it could possibly allow Regina or some other REXX interpreter to...

Thanks for giving it a go. The results at least indicate that the program really is a TSR and should work the way I hoped it would. But I'd still prefer a human to translate the doc. With output like these: Both the REXX language and the REXX language are supported. Note that when this...

I came across this program when looking for DOS-based REXX interpreters. It appears that it is a REXX "daemon" which might mean that it's a TSR that will start a REXX interpreter automatically when necessary. I'm hoping that it will make batch files auto load REXX programs the same way PC-DOS...
