Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 BASE packages

Hi, Given the changes in DOS since 2.X until now, Edlin and EXE2BIN should be optional. DOS 5 replaced Edlin with EDIT and EXE2BIN wasn't included with DOS after 3.3 or 4.01. Which memory manager offers the most compatibility? FDXMS or HIMEMX? -T On Sun, Dec 20, 2015, 4:53 PM Jerome E. Shidel

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 ALL packages
