Thank you so much everybody for getting back to me so quickly! Special thanks to Lockesoft (Nico) nschu. Rainer to answer your question. I do not know how to compile programs but I would love to learn!

Hello, I have noticed a game called Snake in the beta build of PC/Geos 6. I would like to install the

Program into my breadbox ensemble that I use regularly. I did not see any .geo files for install. Does someone have a copy of the program files to install it into ensemble? I also have used the program called Dose on my HP Omnigo and Tandy zommer. I do not have these install files as well but I noticed that the source code is available to compile on our repository. May someone please compile the dose program so I can use that program on breadbox ensemble? I would also like to use the snake game if anyone has a copy. Or a copy of Dose. Below attached our screenshots of the dose program files that I would like the completed files to be compiled so I can use them in breadbox ensemble.

Thomas your virtual machine has worked I now have internet access in Ensemble thank you so much you made my day!

You write that you have a virtual machine with Windows 98? What is the primary operating system on the virtual machine?
There is a new version of DOSBox called DOSBox Staging, works similar to DOSBox Megabuild, maybe except for the printer support? I have managed to connect.Geos to internet using the modem emulation in DOSBox Staging. I use Ubuntu, but it should work in Windows.and Mac, too, as DOSBox Staging is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Maybe that is something for you?

My primary operating system for virtual machine is Windows 98. Please send me any directions you have for modem support in DOSBox Staging I have tried the dosbox mega build but it was not working for me

Hi Brett,

I can try to help you out, but I don't think the Pi/Geos for the moment is a good idea, as it is in an Alpha state. I have experienced some crashes, and they are a bit tricky to fix for an ordinary user, but I have managed to fix them.

In general you will only need a configured MicroSD card. It is important to setup the MicroSD card on the same type of the Raspberry Pi, (RPi) which it is to be used, like for example if you set it up on a Raspberry Pi 3, it should be used on a RPi 3, likewise if it is setup on a RPi 4, it should be used on a RPi4. THis to avoid any trouble. There are also other issues to fix like data transfer, if you want to get data from an external USB to put on the RPi. The internet browser in Ensemble is also limited with the increasing number of secure websites (https://), which can not be reached, for the moment. The internet browser needs improvements, as this is no secret.

I would say that the simplest and most stable solution today in the Raspberry Pi is to use the DOSBox in the Raspberry Pi. Do the Geos part in the DOSBox and then exit the DOSBox and do the browsing in the text mode of the Raspberry Pi. In this case you will manage with a Pi Zero. The performance will be adequate if you know how to set it up. Works OK in the different 256 color modes. Still, there are issues to resolve, like getting files from external source like USB and one have to have knowledge about Raspian, which is the Raspberry Pi OS.

To be honest, there is no simple solution to your wishes.

Can you tell me more specific what you want to do in Geos, and can you shell out to Raspberry Pi OS to do the browsing? Is text mode an alternative? Do you have a Raspberry Pi, if so what model?

Sincerely,
Hans

Hello Hans,
It is very nice to hear from you again. I do not have a Raspberry Pi yet. My current set up for GEOS is a Virtual Machine with Windows 98 and most versions of PC/GEOS including Breadbox Ensemble, NewDeal Office 2000, NewDeal for Global PC , BrotherWorks 98, Palm connect, NewDeal release 3, HP omnigo SDK and emulator, Nokia 9000 emulator, Breadbox Ensemble Lite, Breadbox Ensemble Demo AOL for DOS Geoworks 2.0 ETC. As I could be missing a few others. This works quite well and I have been using it for many years. The only way for me to connect with the internet with PC/GEOS is my Brother Geobook NB-60 or NB-80c prototype via dial up PPP and Globalhopper. Since my NB-80c is a prototype I would like to keep it in good condition. I am looking for other ways to use the PC/GEOS Web Browser. I go on very simple Web sites that are 3.1 HTML. Maybe Pi/GEOS is not for me. Is there any other ways you can think of to get me on the internet with PC/GEOS and my current setup? If you have any other questions please let me know thank you so much once agian for your help.

Brett

Hello Everyone it's been a while since I have posted here. I now have some free time on my hands. I was wondering if someone could help me out with a Raspberry Pi for use with Pi/GEOS and the internet. Since I have a disability it would be difficult for me to set up a PC/GEOS with internet since it requires some coding. If I could have someone preconfigure a computer with Pi/GEOS installed that would be great I will pay for such a computer. I only have a Wi-FI connection at home for regular internet. Any help is much appreciated-Brett

Hello Everyone:
I am so excited to use ICS Maker! I would also am very happy and greatful that you are making an Engish version of this application.

Best,
Brett

After a 6 day work week I can finally focus on GEOS. I can not figure out how to edit the DOSBox configuration file. I will do a few google searches to figure this out.
Best regards,
Brett

Hi Thomas and Hans:
I have installed Dosbox Megabuild 6. I will take a look at the Dosbox configuration file and make sure the sorce code you send me is included and I will follow the other instructions you have provided me. Hopefully this time it works! stay tuned for further updates!

Hi Brett,
Sorry for being silent, I have now managed to install NDO98 Release 3, and will make a zip package of the required files. Can you e-mail to my yahoo e-mail? lindgren_h@yahoo.com. I will send you the zip package with an e-mail to you.
BR,
Hans

Hi Hans,
The email has been sent!

Thank so much Hans! I will be looking forward to that!

HI Hans,
Sadly I do not have Newdeal Office 98 I have New Deal Web Suite, New Deal Office 2000 , Palmconect, Breadbox Ensemble, Breadbox Lite, Brotherworks '98, IBM Schoolview ,Ensemble 2.0, Ensemble Working Model, Global PC Demonstration Version, Global PC, Geoworks Pro and a Newdeal Office Release 3 Demonstraion
version. Would any the above verisons work as well? As I don't have Newdeal Office 98.

You're problem is probably not that you are missing a library but that the libraries are indeed not matching your version of GEOS. However, doesn't the GeoBook have a WebBrowser of its own?

Yes they include a web browser. However all of Geobook's have the Geobrowser from Brother that dose not support things like frames or animated GIFS. I am looking for a slightly more up to date web browser for the Geobook.
Thank you so much for your help.

Brett

What are the required .Geo files required for skipper web browser? I am trying to install it on my Geobook Nb-80c I tried to use Webmagick without any luck I get the error that this geo app is to new for the Geobook. I have used these files for webmagick
In addition to the normal Ensemble libs WebMagick:
system/html4par.geo
system/ibms.geo
system/netutils.geo
system/cookies.geo
system/parentc.geo
system/idialc.geo
system/wav.geo
system/mailhub.geo
system/socket.geo
plus the HTML error files and the help file:
privdata\htmlerr (a folder with error1.htm thru error20,htm files)
userdata\help\internet

Thanks,
Brett

Hello T.Hass
I have tried to use dosbox networking without success. I must be doing something wrong any ideas on what it could be? I have Eethernet but it still dose not work.

Thank you
Brett

800x600 it takes a longer time to refresh the screen otherwise

Amazing work! I can see how all this could work if I had the skills to do it. My PC/Geos set up is a bit different due to my disability. I use virtual box and Windows 98 as a visual way for me to install and add new Geos programs and add-ons. I have spent some time trying to get this to work I must be doing something wrong since I don't know to how edit the scripts that T.Hass has given me. I am really excited that Geos has found a way to the Internet!

Hi here are my questions regarding Geos 6 hopefully they can be answered.

PC / GEOS SYSTEM V6
1. Is the new GEOS software going to be in English?
2. What is Free GEOS
3. How dose Free GEOS relate to PC / GEOS System V6?
4. How do I get a copy of GEOS?
5. Can PC / GEOS System 6 Support a newer way of connecting to the internet other than dial up?
6. Are there any GUI "Look and Feel" improvements?

Thank you
Brett Tiktin

I will keep an eye out for a Brother Desktop publisher or a Cannon Wordstar these are probably the only "Geos" Items I dont have in my PC/GEOS collection. Do you have any news on PC/GEOS 6?

Hi!

• At least the Canons did have a different system library for the spell-checking-/thesaurus-stuff. Hence, there's the chance that this app will not work in BBE. However, there's no need for this app as the spell checker is integrated everywhere in BBE (GeoWrite, ...) and as there's a free third party app to access BBE's thesaurus: http://geos-infobase.de/KATTER/PROGRAMM/thesauru.zip
• I guess that the typewriter application will only work on a real "electrical typewriter" and not in BBE. And there's no need for it in BBE as you've already got GeoWrite and the text-editor (and all those 3rd party apps).

In other words: If you need these apps just for collection, then "good luck". But if you really want to use them in BBE (and on a PC/laptop instead of an "electrical typewriter with monitor"), then I could tell you that "These are not the Druids you are looking for..."
