that (not accepting "call default.bat") is a bug in 4dos 6.02 then that was fixed later. I don't think we should work around bugs in all command interpreter versions and flavours out there. Personally I would like to compile the kernel without batch files using a simple "make". Problem is that we're dealing with n incompatible MAKEs. Also at the time Tom mentioned that he found batch files easier to debug. The only way to get the simples cross-platform build (incl. cross-compiles from Linux) is to standardize on one make tool (eg. DMAKE, GNU make, or Open Watcom wmake) and don't use batch files at all. Each make has its own problems though: * DMAKE as shipped with FreeDOS doesn't swap so can use a lot of conventional memory * GNU Make is not shipped with FreeDOS, and the last time I checked it the 8086 version from GNUish wasn't terribly stable (could have been an FD kernel problem though) * OW WMAKE also uses quite a bit of memory and can't swap.
