These\r\npackages contain the executable file _FDISK.EXE_ under the _BIN_ directory.\r\nFDISK is further shipped as part of the base software collection of the\r\nFreeDOS operating system.\r\n\r\nInvoking `FDISK.EXE /?` shows a help screen with available options.\r\n\r\nThe program behaviour may be further customized by editing the _FDISK.INI_\r\nfile inside the _BIN_ directory. The available options are commented in the\r\nfile.\r\n\r\nFDISK is translated to multiple languages. The translations are stored in the\r\nfile _FDISK.LNG_ inside the _NLS_ directory. To make FDISK find its\r\ntranslation file, either the environment variable _NLSPATH_ must contain\r\nthe FDISK.LNG path, or the LNG file has to be copied to the directory\r\ncontaining FDISK.EXE.\r\n\r\nFurther, the display language has to be specified via the _LANG_ environment\r\nvariable, like `SET LANG=DE` to set the display language to German.\r\n\r\nIf one or more of the above conditions are not met, FDISK is displayed in\r\nEnglish.\r\n\r\nWhen running FDISK under FreeDOS using the FreeDOS provided FDISK\r\npackage, the above should have been setup automatically by the FreeDOS\r\ninstaller.\r\n\r\n## Further Documentation\r\n - [Change Log](doc/fdisk/CHANGES.md)\r\n - [Build Instructions](doc/fdisk/INSTALL.md)\r\n - [Command Line Syntax](doc/fdisk/USAGE.md)\r\n\r\n## Copyright\r\n\r\nThis program is Copyright 1998 - 2025 by Brian E.
