You talk about svarcom? From users site: it works, but it is minimalistic.

Wish you and all others a merry christmas.

Hi,

Can someone briefly describe the differences of current COMMAND.COM and that of svarDOS? (if other than bug fixes).

I disagree. On systems without XMS, KSSF is a lot better than XMSSWAP.

Also, if the problem is that 16 languages do 16 compiles, while each
of them concatenates the SAME compiled binary with one of the 16
different language packs, then it is far more useful to save 15/16
of the build time by making the build process smarter than to save
only 50% of the build time by dropping half of the binaries ;-)

I agree that it is a good idea to include SvarDOS command.com,
also on more modern CPU, but I would not make it the default
yet, as people and scripts can be used to FreeCOM.

Regards, Eric
