Ubuntu 8.10 (the Intrepid Ibex) Users may check this post:

Unlike Intrepid, Jaunty does not include java.

Run old DOS programmes in Ubuntu using DOSBox

DOSBox is a MS-DOS emulator for your operating system. It is intended especially for use with old PC games.If you miss games like old Prince of Persia, Dangerous Dave etc then you should use this cool emulator!Even Turbo C compiler can be run inside Ubuntu using DOSBox.TC is difficult to work with Wine emulator.

DOSBox can be installed using Add/Remove programmes or Synaptic Package Manager.
Run it from Applications >> Games >> DOSBox Emulator

DOSBox welcome screen in Ubuntu

To run applications, right click executable file and open with dosbox.
OR you can mount the directory containing executables .To mount your home directory type
mount c ~
You can get help on mount and other commands inside DOSBox (see above image)

Prince of Persia

Dangerous Dave

Turbo C working inside Ubuntu 8.10 using DOSBox:
You code, compile, debug and run C,C++ same like any Windows platform.Here user screen will be of DOSBox.

TC++ 3.0 in Ubuntu

Common issues (in my case Ubuntu 8.10):

• Dosbox.conf: This configuration file will not be created by default.This file should be there to change settings.Steps to create this file http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf
• Arrow keys problem: Sometimes your arrow keys may not work.Solution is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5963381
• Resolution problem: By pressing Alt+Enter somtimes fullscreen resolution won't get. Solution is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1100226

Edit iso images with ISO Master

An ISO image is an archive file (also known as a disk image) of an optical disc.
This format is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO but Mac OS X ISO images often have the extension .CDR.
You can backup your CDs in iso format.

If you want to work with iso CD images then try ISO Master.
http://www.littlesvr.ca/isomaster/
It is a simple program.

ISO Master allows to:

• Create new iso images.
• Extract files or folders from iso images.
• Add files or folders to an existing iso image.screenshot

Configure gnome dictionary for offline use

The inbuilt gnome-dictionary in Ubuntu queries online dictionary servers like dict.org when we type a word.
You can configure this dictionary to use the local dictionary server in your computer.It helps to use dictionary while offline and to save bandwidth while online.

Steps:
1. Install dictd server:
dictd is a server that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.See Wikipedia article.

2. Download different dictionary databases:
For English language dict-wn and dict-gcide are the recommended dictionary databases for English.These can be installed through synaptic.You can search for other free dictionaries packed in .deb (dict-) packages through synaptic.

3. Configure settings of gnome-dictionary:
Applications > Dictionary
Edit > Preferences
Add a new dictionary source with Hostname as "localhost" instead of "dict.org".Now if the list in Dictionaries tab is refreshed, you can see the available databases.Select the new source and use it.

Best document organizer for Ubuntu

If you have downloaded gigabytes of documents in PDF,html,doc,text etc etc formats then you may be finding it is difficult to dig this heap of files to get what you really want.

I checked for a nice document organizer for Ubuntu on Internet and I got some apps too.but the problem with them was that either it does not support adding files from hard drive (ie only useful while online) or written in java.
My search for a perfect one ended in Referencer, the gnome document organizer.
Features:

* add documents or entire folders
* can index verity of file formats
* tag files
* highlight tags based on number of contents
* thumbnail view of files

Remember, these are features only for an average end-user.Actually Referencer has got seamless capabilities as themselves telling they "designed with the scientist/researcher in mind"!
