I didn't quite have the time or energy to test TC or Watcom builds yet. In fact, due to external circumstances, some tests regressed/broke even with original (2006, TC) FreeCOM, which I'm normally using by default. So that's four shells and (I don't know? 20+?) many "tests" that I have to re-run. Quite a few tests seemed to work okay now with the GNUC build, though, which is very promising and good news. > > at least in several of my tests.

Not sure exactly why those errors, but "spurious" (false or fake) means I'm just ignoring them, for now. > > (This is on 0.7-pre snapshot that I linked in my > > DropBox, if that makes a difference, run under 64-bit QEMU 3.0.0 atop > > Win7 64-bit.) > > well as usual: no mentioning of WHAT F**KING TEST YOU DID > can't be so difficult, right ? I ran over a dozen tests. They all test different pieces. It's not that simple or one dimensional. Part of that is intentional. Did you want a list of "successful" tests?? Or just the failures, right? You have the same files that I do (now), if you think it makes much of a difference (since 0.6). > > However, trying to run NEWWGET.BAT seems to hang > > forever. > what f**king NEWWGET.BAT? not part of my copy of this world famous > METADOS. > mind sharing this with us so we might try to reproduce this? Aug. 21 email (in last thread about previous prerelease) had a link to my DropBox, which I explicitly mentioned here. Inside "network/stubs.zip" is indeed found "newwget.bat" (which is unpacked to "%RAMDRIVE%:\utils" at bootup). Are you still using only (old) 0.6? It was because of your alleged confusion (0.6 or newer?) that I uploaded this for you. Yes, I've now tested it (here under antiX Linux via live USB), and it can indeed be downloaded successfully. But keep in mind that I'm not expecting nor demanding any serious debugging, just casually mentioning what I'm seeing. > > But using the old (2008) Wget (e.g. "tests oberon") seems to > > work fine.

I'm not sure if M.K.'s site is down (or was yesterday), so it could've been that. It's a shame that I might even have to (again) run the (normally "successful") test under original (2006, TC) FreeCOM just to make sure it still works as originally intended. Some things are outside of my control. (But it's very tedious to rebuild and mirror only free/libre stuff with nobody to help. Please keep in mind that I'm not normally trying to make things harder for myself or others. I'm not normally trying to be too clever or baroque.) So I didn't have time to fully isolate the problem on my end to make absolutely sure it's a bug or regression in newer FreeCOM prerelease. I just wanted to show that I did (briefly) try it out. More testing from me will come later, but (sadly) my time and energy is not infinite. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
