I did receive the latest HTMLHELP text files you sent a few days back. Those have been added to FD-NLS at https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/tree/master/htmlhelp/v1.1.0 <https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/tree/master/htmlhelp/v1.1.0> . However, those files have not yet been integrated into the HTMLHELP package at https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/htmlhelp <https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/htmlhelp> . Therefore, the updated files were not included in T2306. Since no one has updated the GitLab package, it is waiting for me to do it. Unfortunately, do mostly to financial reasons and the lack of sufficient community support threw means like my Patreon page, the amount of time I can dedicate to working on FreeDOS and related items has been dramatically curtailed. Of the very limited amount of time remaining, I must prioritize even the smallest of tasks. For the most part, that means I can only allocate time to nibble away at one problem or project at a time. It is also the reason for the increased response time regarding email. At present, my “FreeDOS time” is dedicated to creating a new command-line utility that will be included with V8Power Tools for DOS. When that is finished, I will be working on assisting another FreeDOS developer run down a file truncation issue that is occurring under FreeDOS EDIT in specific circumstances. Following that, I will integrate the new HTMLHELP text into the GitLab Package before looking in to the visual glitch that sometimes occurs in the FreeDOS installer when using the new FDISK. Hopefully, that integration will be before T2307 is released. Once those items are knocked out, almost everything related to FreeDOS will be going into maintenance only mode. At that point, only bug fixes and general FreeDOS package updates will get allocated time. The exceptions being V8Turbo and the FD-NLS desktop application. However, based on the amount of time I can dedicate to working on FreeDOS related items, It will be a while for V8Turbo and I may not get back to the FD-NLS app for a year or more. As for things like the next version of FDIMPLES with mouse and networking support, a couple games and other new programs I was going to create, those have been put off indefinitely. It is unfortunate. But, it is what it is. Jerome
