Yes. >MD> to "EMM386 may never get build subsystem". > > Yes, I fear, it may never get _working_ build subsystem. You mean working for Arkady? Ok, if you're sure that you have a universal working build for compilers (which I can't check, because I don't have them currently installed and I don't have the time to fool with it), what compilers is this build subsystem for? Just TC 2.0? TC 1.0. How about OW? Here's my final offer: I'll split off a new subdirectory on the source tree, call it TCBUILD or somesuch (but avoiding the temptation to call it ARKADY), and you can put all your shiny new C source changes in there. You can also put in a single DOC file that talks about what to do to build them to Belousov-level operation. But here's the deal: You have to make sure it works. It will still be tagged as experimental and as no support unless you want to attach your e-mail to the source. If it doesn't work and I get a bunch of crap or questions I can't answer from users about it, I'm not going to be a happy person. Then all those many times you claimed I "ignored" you will become accurate in every sense of the word. This, I feel, is a big opportunity for you to get all your indispensable changes in there and not burn up the list and my e-mail box griping out about this, that, and the other thing. If you're right, everybody gains. If you're wrong, the damage is isolated and doesn't affect other users. This won't change the behavior of EMM386 or HIMEM as it currently works, so we don't violate the freeze rule and don't introduce anything that has side-effects. Oh yeah, don't dawdle. I figure it should be ready to go in a day or two. And if you can't guarantee it will build for other users going in, then it's not going to happen.

Hmm, well you missed at least two public messages to freeusers-devel and freedos-user each about using the new UPX. So that's at least four, and there were messages leading up release to talking about whether the new UPX would do well beyond those four. I can't be responsible for multiple messages missed on the list. There are no nondefault options used with UPX, otherwise I would have said so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
