DBOS run-time

Does anyone have an old (it couldn't be new could it) copy of the DBOS run-time? We have been contacted by a few users of a FTN77/x86 compiled application and they need a copy of DBOS.

DBOS had been retired when Silverfrost took over FTN95 and so we never had buildable sources.

I have located an old zipfile dating back to 1998 containing among others dbos.exe and dbos.lib. Is that what you are asking for?

It is certainly a good start. Can you email them to ftn95@silverfrost.com ?

I found an old CD-ROM (original from Salford), labelled 'Salford FTN95 Win32, Version 2.50'. It contains also a folder 'PRODUCTS\DOS' with a setup.exe, but I cannot run this under my 64-bit Windows OS and so I don't know whether DBOS is included there. If you like, I can send the CD to you.

Regards - Wilfried

I have Ver 1.06 FTN95 disks (1997), both Win32 (3 disks) and Windows (4 disks), plus the Salford DBOS run-time master disk. ( 8 x 3.5' disks in all). I thought I also had Ver 1.01, but can't find the disks. I have a draw full of later versions also, if you might require a revised DBOS from a later date. Are any of these disks of use in this form ?

John

Ps: I haven't tried to read them as yet !

I think the DBOS run-time master disk is the one we need. Could you try and read that one and send it please?

Robert,

I have emailed the zip file. 02/09/2011 09:55 AM 892,327 Salford_DBOS_Ver3.55.zip

Hopefully it will not be filtered. If it is, then I can send it via sendthisfile.com

Hi John

We did get your zip thank you. The failure is because our ISP copies everything to another (gmail) account
