Hi, I vote for Bernd's idea: Make ALTBOOT an ignored option - at it would enable the behaviour which FreeDOS EMM386 has as default anyway - and introduce a NOALTBOOT option which suppresses INT9 (keyboard) hooking. Apart from that, "/" in front of options could be treated as optional, to allow more "flexible" command line syntax.
Eric PS: About the tab-completion-beep problem in FreeCOM: I think this is really a FreeCOM (C compiler library delay/nosound/sound) problem with Johnson's hardware. So it probably even happens in MS kernel. I think the kernel has no influence on this at all. A test program would just produce a beep :-). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
