Today I grabbed it from SVN r1694 to test (since, surprisingly, PuppyLinux already had an SVN client ... or maybe the DevX add-on gives it, who knows). Seems Bart is still making small tweaks here and there (e.g. 2 hours before I grabbed it!). So I suspect he may not be done yet! ;-) https://sites.google.com/site/rugxulo/FREECOM.ZIP?attredirects=0&d=1 (*temporary* location, heh, but that's OW19-built binaries and sources, but I didn't test the non-XMS swap version, and I'm not 100% sure that one's 8086-friendly, but a quick grep didn't show anything obvious in any makefiles, so ....) BTW, I think I did find an obscure regression (bug), if anybody is interested: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/7zip/7zdecode/7ZDEC922.ZIP Try rebuilding that with DJGPP (don't worry, it's very easy). I actually used my one-floppy "lite" GCC 2.95.3, but I assume any will do. The problem may?? have to do with this line (though works fine on "older" 2006 compile of FreeCOM XMS-Swap). At least (once I disable "echo off"), that's where things start to act funny (and more or less truncate chars where any command after that won't work and it's basically useless and needs a reboot): if not "%STUB%"=="" copy /b %STUB% + %SEVENZIP% %SEVENZIP%.exe >NUL So maybe it's a bug with COPY, not sure. (Bart is probably busy, and perhaps adding this to the "real" bugtracker may be preferable, but I'm posting here so more people can test.) I can't reproduce this otherwise, though; normal use didn't show any other problems (yet). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
