Can't remember, I might've run into some minor issues with SHELLHIGH in the past. I probably used it on one of my RUFFIDEA floppies. I nowadays avoid it, personally, but others know more low-level internals than me, so maybe they're more adventurous. >> * does >> http://ericauer.cosmodata.virtuaserver.com.br/soft/specials/cmd.zip work >> as primary command processor, being able to load FreeCOM as secondary shell? > > I am not sure why I even wrote this thing, maybe some bug > in some shell or maybe I wanted a wrapper to be able to exit > the shell?

Didn't somebody (Lucho? RayeR? ROM-DOS?) have an ultra-tiny CMD meant for a way to simply run an app without the extra bloat / RAM usage of standard DOS shell? I mean, to be honest, the shell is mostly just composed of various .BAT commands, so if you don't need those, you don't need FreeCOM specifically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
