I got the ODIN image from odin.fdos.org, and more specifically this: http://odin.fdos.org/fdodin06.8088.zip Now, here goes the list. MEM: The command MEM is missing. MEMA: Prints out garbage to screen and quits. KEYB: immediately crash with "Runtime error 105 at 0000:252F" DEFRAG: Blanks the entire screen, and freezes SORT: Freezes. When executed with "DIR | SORT" it tries to write something to my diskette (!) that I had write protected, fortunately. MORE: Exactly same symptoms as SORT. DIR: When using DIR/P, DIR seems to think that the screen is 1-row high, and asks for a keypress for every line (the screen is CGA-based, 25 rows). MODE: MODE MONO makes the screen blank. Had to type in blindly "MODE BW80" to recover. Might not be a bug, but would be nice if MODE could check if a given mode is supported, before running it. cheers, Mateusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
