This appears: c:\bgen-win95\App, and i can type after that.

Edit: Btw, alt+shift+7 doesn't work for backslash, nor does AltGr+7. Ctrl-alt+7 works, but not in my MS-DOS.

I have renamed them.

This happens when i start bgen_console.bat: http://imgur.com/TMV5mPF.

I see... The screenshot was helpful. Please re-download the package - I have just added a fix for this issue (hopefully!). I think we're almost there.

You can get the tool from:   http://trax.x10.mx/bgen-win95.7z

The size of the package is 963K and the GPG signature is below.
Of course all source code is included.

I have repackaged it differently, so you can simply unzip the archive and click the "bgen_console.cmd" file in the App folder. Let me know if that works for you.


Code:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (MingW32)

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have unziped it but bgen_console.cmd asks for a program to be opened with.

What is the GPG for?

Ah, cmd files are not supported in Win95... Simply rename both cmd files to a bat extension, so you end up with:



Hopefully that will fix it.

The GPG sig is to verify the integrity and author of the package. If you're not familiar with using GPG, it's probably best to ignore this for now, as there's a bit of a learning curve...

Ok i will be able to post the package in an hour or so. Launching the new script will also be more user-friendly...

Okey, will 0.1btc be enough for a qr-code function?

Edit: If that's difficult to do, maybe you know a good website that i can download.

I've tried: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bitcoin%3A1NYsMtFgaSWvcTg4sM5fRGSZTcZcSkXsYM%3Famount%3D0.01%26amp%3Blabel%3DDonation+qr+code but it doesn't work.

Plenty of existing Python libraries can already do that - so essentially, the hard part is finding a way to make them work under Win 95. I could take a look at this as well, but most probably not this week I'm afraid. Donate whatever you feel is fair / nice.

I am reminded of the directory separator being a different character in Japanese DOS, "¥", and this is likely the case on the Swedish localized Win95, that there is a particular key to be used in different language. A localized keyboard with English Windows may have similar problems.

In the Japanese encodings ISO 646 (a 7-bit code based on ASCII), JIS X 0201 (an 8-bit code), and Shift JIS (a multi-byte encoding which is 8-bit for ASCII), the code point 0x5C that would be used for backslash in ASCII is instead rendered as a yen mark (¥), while in Korean encoding, it is drawn as a won currency symbol (₩). Computer programs still treat the code as a backslash in these environments, causing confusion, especially in MS-DOS filenames.[13] Due to extensive use of the backslash code point to represent the yen mark, even today some Unicode fonts like MS Mincho render the backslash character as a ¥, so the Unicode characters 00A5 (¥) and 005C (\) look identical when these fonts are selected. Several other ISO 646 versions also replace backslash with characters like Ö (German, Swedish), Ø (Danish, Norwegian), ç (French) and Ñ (Spanish), leading to similar problems. Since the character was originally not available in all character sets and keyboard layouts, ANSI C can transcribe it in form of the trigraph ??/ which, outside string literals, is equivalent to the \ character. RFC 1345 recommends to transcribe the character as digraph //, if not available.[14]

alt+shift+7 is apparently how you type \ on a Swedish keyboard if you need that character.

Or: AltGr + should work too

Another fun fact, the Apple ⌘ character is "tourist attraction" in Sweden.

It worked! Hah!

Here is the result: http://imgur.com/TiDJZuV

Great! I will post the actual script shortly. You can save it into the App folder and run it in the same way as nobrainr.

If you're happy with it and decide to make a fair donation, I can spend more time on it to see how to add clipboard support!

things you own end up owning you



Edited: I just had to look again and this is the right one, can you confirm ?

I've tried that button, also that button with ctrl+alt, also that button with shift.

I will go to work in 20 minutes.


OK type in your browser the backslash then copy it and open the cmd and past it this way:


right click on the menu bar

I'm probably doing something wrong.

Edit: It's Swedish btw, i live in Sweden.

Edit2: I can only do frontslash, not backslash.

There's your issue... You do need the backslash.  As a quick hack you could copy paste it from here? \

So once this is unzipped, just cd to that App folder, and type:
..\python.exe NoBrainr.py


I don't understand this part.

I have located the app folder but then what?

Open a command prompt (Start Menu/Run/"cmd")
then type:
 cd Path\to\App  (eg: cd c:\python25\app\)
and finally:
 ..\python.exe NoBrainr.py

I have opened the MS-DOS-promt with Start Menu/Run/command.

When i use python.exe the MS-DOS-promt changes name to PYTHON.

Aren't you supposed to give me your script now, or do i already have it?

Good to know that python is working, but please try to run nobrainr.py as described in my previous post to see if the ecdsa library is working fine on win95.

Depending on the results you get, I will adapt the new script and post it for you.  



NoBrainr.py asks for a program to be opened with.
cd "place where you unzipped the nobrainr.py"
c:\python25\python.exe nobrainr.py

This is the reason newer versions don't work:
http://wishmesh.com/2009/09/microsoft-visual-c-supported-target-windows-versions/

Python 2.7, for example, is built with MSVC 2008, and 3.x with MSVC 2010.

I spend a very brief time looking into old C compilers that can make small DOS executables, such as released-as-freeware Borland Turbo C++ 3.0. It is conceivable to do address creation on very small DOS exes from a floppy, which also enables boot cd as floppy image, if you were to do the programming. You would need 16-bit friendly ECDSA and SHA256/RIPEMD160 code. DOS also allows easy printing to LPT port.
