FreeDOS 2038 is VERSION number sensitive in int 21.5a create temp file: (text snippet from RBIL int 21.5a create temporary file) >> AH = 5Ah CX = file attribute (see #01420 at AX=4301h) >> DS:DX -> ASCIZ path ending with a '\' + 13 zero bytes to >> receive the generated filename >> Return: CF clear if successful >> AX = file handle opened for read/write in compatibility mode >> DS:DX pathname extended with generated name for temporary file >> MS-DOS 5.0 and DR DOS 3.41/5.0 will insert a missing trailing >> backslash before appending the generated filename, but due to >> this, an empty string results in a file in the root directory If you set VERSION to something different than 5.xx in config sys then FreeDOS will behave in the more common DOS 3/4/6/7 style :-) > 2.
