Hi, I have the impression that the http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/FreeCOM.html#-status
page is far too pessimistic: Even 0.82pl3 does support - wildcard rename - swap to XMS without helper app - supports redirect / pipe in the XMS swap version - did I miss other issues? So the only remaining missing 1.0 feature is: - int 2e support (run shell commands by sending them to the master shell through the int 2e interface, so you do not have to start a new shell instance) Plus some 1.0 wishes: - use own I/O library - optimize for size, improve modularization and code sharing between modules, do strict _doserrno error handling... - LFN support... - load parts of the shell to HMA (if I understand "DOS=HIGH support" right) Comments please - I would like to update the FreeCOM.html file when I can find the time, so please send me suggestions about what should be changed. Thanks! Eric PS: I think we should add 4DOS to the distro - it is not open source but it is distrobutable and free as far as I can tell. And I hope it supports int 2e... Does it...? PPS: We would also need somebody who can add some smaller bug really useful bugfixes to FDISK and DEFRAG and SYS, anybody? ^-- but (I hope MEM and NLSFUNC will be okay... maybe somebody even does PRINT(Q)?) ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
