Thanks! But it started working so I already put it there (see my other message).


Because in M$ it's a hidden switch (you get nothing by typing "VER /?")

Things like that are Megalo$0ft's favourite "trick"! Here's what Pat Villani (the author of DOS/C on which our kernel is based) wrote about the Microsoft's love to undocumented features:


there is constant debate over Microsoft's use of undocumented features in MS-DOS, Windows and now Windows95. In all fairness to Microsoft, I've seen other operating systems that also have undocumented interfaces. My opinion is that programmers should avoid these whenever possible. However, Microsoft did go to extremes to hide key features and I fault them for this. You don't go out of your way to hide these key features unless you are actively trying to lock out competition.

So the result is: "Ein Volk, ein Reich (Microsoft), ein FÃhrer (William Henry Gates III)!" :-(
