Tom has of course every reason to be pissed -- and in the latest emm386 he released there *is* an lsm file. The problem really stems from this I think:
<snip>
Moral of the story: 1. please do not make updates to appear like full versions 2. do not change the .lsm file so that it does no longer correspond with the source files!
I think no blame should go to Michael Devore since he always made it clear that it was an update, not a full release.
Michael Devore figures that for anything he does which is interim to the official release precisely 99.972% of the people using it only are interested in the binary anyway. I stick in the source file changed that pass because a) Tom needs it and b) some people ask for it. I don't know why, it's not like there's much reason to recompile an interim binary different from my own.
However, I will probably post everything available to me next time since there seems to be an inordinate amount of emotion being spent on the issue. Or people could ask, I've sent out full compile source sets a few times.
To avoid inflaming the issue, I'm not going to ask why all new documentation is desperately needed to be written for something which has behaved effectively the same way for end-users for the past six months. And roughly 20 years for MS-DOS, as far as general behavior. If it's really all that horribly important, someone send me a target spec and I'll invest time crafting a document that shall cause the hard-hearted to cry tears of joy such beautiful literature has flowered and brought documentary peace to the FreeDOS universe of scribblings. Or, at least it will contain examples, both marginally readable and modestly accurate, of nouns and verbs conjoined in syntactic grouping.
