Good evening,

Please see http://server.fdos.org/fdos/tree/TREE373.zip for an update
to the tree program that should fix the issues (sorry for the long
delay).

Changes from tree v3.7.1/3.7.2
  - reverted argument processing back to code from v3.7 [.0], the
changes to use getopt were really broken
  - minor tweaks to included cats to default NLSPATH to ".;.\NLS", a
future version will update tree to kitten
  - added extra check so if no serial# returned, assumes call failed
and doesn't print invalid serial# (note, the way it calls int21h is a
bit funky, in pdTree the carry flag is forced set before the call as I
recall some kernels don't set it on error for the called function, but
this version just clears struct and assumes if still clear then call
failed as I'm not sure how to set the flags register prior to the
int86 call (it's not the standard version, no regs struct passed) and
don't have all the compiler variants easily available anymore to test
changes to it.
  - included in the zip is all the current? message catalogs, note:
these are straight from the FreeDOS nls archive on gitlab, hopefully
didn't miss/mess any up.
  - some documentation updates to reflect that I no longer have
@computer.org email address.

A version 4 will be released eventually, but I'm not making any
commitments for when.  In the meantime, if anyone has any issues with
this version, please let me know and I'll try to push out an update a
little quicker. :-)


(ps a new test kernel release is pending, but I'm trying to figure
out/fix a driver hang during load issue first).

Thanks,
Jeremy
