I have never seen an reason to run SHARE except a FreeDOS machine as a server which is more or less impossible. or not? > Is kernel development officially dead?

And who would even know what to test when? again: Bart's 29 dez 2019 mail in freedos-devel gives you a new FreeCOM; hopefully a) bugfree for normal operatons and also b) LFN aware. happy testing; in particular b) as I'm fairly certain that the actual coder of LFN support was more interested in implementing (cool) then testing/verifying (boring) things. writing and running a couple of .BAT files would be cool.
