I recently installed FreeDOS on an old laptop and then transferred some dosbox based GOG games I own to the FreeDOS installation. The problem is the manuals for these games is in PDF format and I cannot find a working DOS based PDF viewer.
The one program I could find, called psview
crashed and gave me this output when I tried it on a PDF:
TEMP directory: c:\\
Bad command or filename - 'pdftops'.
CHDIR failed for 'c:\gs'.
Bad command or filename - 'gs386'.
C:\
Bad command or filename - 'lxpic'.
File not found: 'C:\TEMP.PS'
(Couldn't get the rest of output because screen scrolled past really fast)
PSVIEW collapsed to DOS
(End of output)
I also tried viewing PDFs in two web browsers that run in FreeDOS called Arachne and Dillo, both in vain. Any way to view PDF files in FreeDOS?
