Speaking of bugfixes, a person on FreeDOS IRC has mentioned many times that the latest versions of HIMEM/EMM386 won't work with certain hard drives, but will work with others. AFAIR, he also says that NOVDS does nothing to change this. > .

I would personally really appreciate the ASM in FreeDOS HELP being a test case, as this assembler won't even compile with Arrow Assembler or the Watcom Assembler (which both use older MASM/TASM syntax, afaik). BTW, with NASM, does optimizing EMM386 or HIMEM for newer CPUs result in smaller object files? PS: If the C is ever to be compiled with Watcom C, as Bernd suggested, the global functions in the asm would need to have a _ in front instead of behind, as this is (for some weird reason) the way OpenWatcom does things. To get other ASM/C projects to compile with OpenWatcom, I have changed any instances of _function in the asm to _function_, and then used defines in the C source code to append a _ to the opposite side of the function. Just a tidbit. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
