Hello,
I'm ready with updated unstable kernel patches + binary. By popular request, the copyright message is back, albeit in an abridged form that still says everything necessary! ;-) More simplifications were done. For example, my tests show that the InitializaAllDrives() kludge is no longer needed so I happily removed it :) This kernel has now NLSFUNC support by Eduardo (slightly modified by me). Needless to say that despite all this, the kernel is still below 40 KB (80 sectors) long! (Would I offer it otherwise? :) With its COUNTRY.SYS and NLSFUNC support, the unstable (read - dangerous :) kernel has now more features than the stable one, which should be expected from an unstable (read - advanced :) kernel. Unfortunately, the TU-Varna FTP server has currently some [space?] problems and I can't upload the files there, so I enclose them here. Hope nobody minds this larger message.
Enjoy! Lucho
P.S. After sending the above message, I got the following auto-reply:
Your mail to 'Freedos-kernel' with the subject
Updated unstable kernel patches and binary
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Message body is too big: 76015 bytes but there's a limit of 40 KB
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision.
I don't know who is that "moderator", but obviously I can't send the kernel binary. So here's the patch only. Now you know about the limitation. 40 KB must be a SACRED number EVEN for SourceForge!
