Please change the two lines in sys.c that use (int *) to use (UWORD *) or
similar. I overlooked this when compiling with MS VC 6 and causes the
resulting floppy to not be able to boot as the wrong location is written
to (as int == DWORD instead of WORD). And I'm likely to overlook it again
if I update to a newer version of SYS later.
((int *)newboot)[0x3C] = load_seg;
...
/* put 0 for A: or B: (force booting from A:), otherwise use DL */
bs->bsDriveNumber = drive < 2 ? 0: 0xff;
((int *)newboot)[0x2E] = load_seg;
I like the cleaned up command processing, though there is one
or two spots that need fixing:
printf("%s: drive %c must be A:..Z:\n", pgm, *argv[(argc == 3 ? 2 : 1)]);
should probably be
printf("%s: drive %c must be A:..Z:\n", pgm, argv[drivearg][0]);
and some of the tests seem to have redundant && !variable if tests
(both and bootonly). Does this result in a size reduction or am I
missing some aspect of the test?
(Forgive me if these are already pointed out / fixed outside current
nightly tarball, as I haven't been following fd-kernel too closely.)
Thank you,
Jeremy
[See http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/source.zip if you want the
source to my MSVC6 port of sys 3.1 for NT (2000/XP tested). Because its all I
need, it only properly supports floppies and requires NT, but should work
more reliably under NT than the official DOS sys. Source.zip may be
large, so I can pull out winsys.c from it if desired.]
