FreeDOS kernel 2034 is released at the usual place. Since no new critical problems were found with 2034rc it is the same as kernel 2034rc except for the updated history.txt and the version string.
Some important user visible changes (full log in history.txt): Memory savings: saved ~1100 bytes of resident code. Reduced internal file table size from 70 to 60 bytes per file and moved all but two files in the table to the HMA, saving 70 bytes for every additional FILE in low memory. Improved ctrl-c/break handling. It could corrupt redirected input. Now echoes ^C to the correct place. Fixes problems with EJECT, CHKDSK and TRANSFER utilities from Lucho. Enabled interactive re-execution of the SHELL. The lock/unlock simulation of success now applies to any device (including RAM disks). Fixed bugzilla Bug 1746: error in int 21h, ah=55h function "ah=55h in FreeDOS doesn't copy environment pointer at PSP:[002Ch] from current PSP to new PSP. While this behaviour is ok for function ah=26h, it is a bug for ah=55h." FreeDOS now copies the whole PSP for 26h/55h. The initialization is done in the init code; the int21 functions just adjust some values; 55h also clones the file table and a few other things that 26h doesn't do. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
