Hi Jerome, hi all,
thx for this great job! I always admire these FDT versions!
Every month you update several commands / files!
Some minor important hints for the next FDT (you already know most of them):
a) bladeenc 0.94.1 is installed, but "fnpkgk checkupdates" finds 0.94.1a and downloads and
"updates" it with "fdnpkg install bladeenc".
The files are identical, except cwsdpmi, which is NOT delivered with the update but with the CD.

b) As already reported: country.sys has a bug with CP 858 and country 49. I have a working
country.sys + asm file from Laaca (thank you very much!) but I fear Jerome will not accept it for
common usage.
b) rcal has no own folder "rcal" at C:\util. There are only the two files at C:\util. Please do not forget to change
the link at c:\freedos\links\rcal.com in case that you change this.
the link at c:\freedos\links\rcal.com in case that you change this.
d) If you run "fdnpkg install compute" only THREE NLS files will be installed, CZ,EN,RU, although there
are much more at Shidel's NLS Website.
are much more at Shidel's NLS Website.
e) A full installation with all programming tools requires in about 650 - 700 MB on a HD. The standard
HD size is 500 MB. So either the programming files should be reduced in size for more than
150 MB or the HD size should be updated. Reason: Some People like it "to install simply everything"
and are then shocked to see that the HD is too small..

I am not sure if Erics proposals are enough to reduce the full Installation to 500 MB. So there should
be a discussion if the size of the installation partition could be expanded (at least at the versions
that support the Bonus CD).
