PS: Which kernels contain the DOSLFN compatibility patch (improved xBPB/DPB initialization and set extended error code implemented),
only the development kernels at www.fdos.org/kernel, I think. Jeremy has been active lately. Only thing missing by default is that IF a compressor is used, SYS should also be compressed by it (UPX, Apack).
did somebody contact GRUB people about 0.0.35 vs. 1.0.35 version ID,
why exactly? I cannot connect to GRUB4DOS site.
to work with DOS=HIGH (I seem to remember that recompiling with either Toms or my KITTEN version or recompiling ZLIB or both was what Bob did to fix the bug... maybe there are OTHER programs with CATS affected? Which programs still use CATS instead of KITTEN? Symptom was a CRASH when using HTMLHELP several times on SOME systems if DOS=HIGH...) ...?
FreeDOS textmode installer still uses CATS. I could really use a smaller installer.. The texmode installer is quite old, and I cannot obtain the exact version of it (3.7.x), and newer versions should also exists (3.9, 4.0) somewhere in Jeremy's archives.
And did Arkady re-add the seemingly but not actually unneeded BPB/... initialization at boot time which he had removed at some point?
why 'not unneeded' ?
