Hi, dunno how other DOSes do this, but I suggest that FreeDOS only calls int 2f.1000 SHARE install check when files are opened/closed, not on each access (merge_file_changes, DosRWSft, DosLockUnlock).
Background: FreeDOS at the moment calls the SHARE install check 100s of times even for really trivial activities. That cannot be normal? Is that needed? Note that FreeDOS stops calling the install check as soon as you do install SHARE - which means you cannot ever uninstall SHARE because FreeDOS will fail to notice that you removed SHARE... Comments please :-) Eric PS: I already have a patch for this available. Just want to hear your opinion about possible side effects first... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list Freedos-kernel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
