Luckily I'm able to understand what you mean.
Of course, every user will have different application run into problems with EMM386, some of the customized can't be supported because they might use some undocumented M$-DOS "feature", supporting every problem is impossible.
I have spare SBLIVE, so I use it. If someone will use SBLIVE, please vote for it, if I'm the only one, ignore me.
I don't need votes to work on something, I just need problem files that duplicate a problem.
I've said it before and I'll post the offer again. If ANY one has ANY (noncosmetic) problem with ANY application using FreeDOS which works properly in MS-DOS and the problem that is not already known to be with:
A. the FreeDOS kernel B. the command shell FreeCOM, or C. a supporting utility like EDIT, MEM, or SORT
and
D. the problem isn't an already documented limitation of HIMEM or EMM386 -- which currently means the application cannot require VDS support or EMS/XMS memory sharing.
and, finally
E. you provide the necessary full set of files for me to duplicate the problem without requiring hours of setup or privacy-invading download restrictions.
THEN, I will look at the application and:
1. fix the problem or
2. report why the problem occurs for (hopefully) someone else to fix, or
3. failing #1 or #2 after a reasonable length of time, give up and pretend I never heard of you.
Aggressive bug-fixes at this point appear to be a good way to get FreeDOS to the final 1.0 rollout. For now I have a moderately clear schedule to try to push FreeDOS further along the path, so I'm available with a chunk of debug time until the next big project comes along. Obviously subject to change.
Which reminds me that I need to post the slightly revised SHARE code which is DOS 7-compatible and works with Ensemble Lite.
