Added bonus down the line, it may then be possible to directly generate various floppy images like ELKS does and have a stripped down build with binaries suitable for XTs. * In my testing, jemm386 isn't a compatible replacement for emm386. Most games that require EMS I've tried just crash while they work fine with PC-DOS and friends. It's also the last piece of the puzzle that prevents Windows 3.x from working in FreeDOS. Seems like solving these problems would be a major achievement. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
