May be, Bart help us?

Show this, please.

Let me ask reverse question: why you add this _another FreeDOS specific
function, which duplicates another specific function_, whereas only some
version probably support this function (and RBIL is not very clear how!).

And? Now your patches mention GPL (which associated with GPL1) and
removes (parts? of) tom's patch.
PS: what about other issues:
- MK_UWORD() instead "<< 8 |" in INT21/30?
- notes and questions about history.txt?
About history.txt. After carefull rereading, I _suggest_ I understand what
there mentioned. Let me rephrase:

- clear CX after INT21/30, else buggy Borland's 32RTM trashes stack.
- added another FreeDOS specific function INT2F/122F, which duplicates
INT21/33FC and, probably, similr to one, which supported by (some?)
MS-DOS 4.0 (only) editions.
- autoexec.bat now contains only one line, without trailing LF or CRLF (this
eases FreeCOM compatability, because MS-DOS shells doesn't parses LF as
line end).
- config.sys now empty, because kernel defaults are optimal.
- (by Bart) LoL pointers...
- LoL->rev_number now initialized along with DOS version in main.c.
- makefile: object files reordered, this reduces packed kernel by ~300 bytes.
