Repeated many times, OK, one more repeat: 1) FDXMS - Strange coding type, Jack don't want to touch because he will make easily make mistake, also hard to adapt those strange assembly type 2) HIMEM - Too big, too complex to touch. Jack want a small driver that optimize for simple usage for himself >Now we are getting somewhere. Jack thinks that leaving interrupts >disabled for too long during XMS moves is bad. And this is why >he thinks that FDXMS is evil? It would have been an idea to tell Hey, speak carefully, Jack and I never assume FDXMS bad, we just worry that Martin Stormberg was too busy to update, or he may already leave FreeDOS because of some reasons ... Recently I found you always making trouble or try to make matter worse by inserting "evil" or try to make us look "evil". >the FDXMS maintainer that enabling interrupts from time to time >during a move would improve FDXMS. Probably Jack thinks that the >FDXMS maintainer is too stupid to read email from Jack? Or maybe Once more, Jack and I NEVER speak any "FDXMS" stupid, he and I always thanks Martin Stormberg creating FDXMS for the users, the only problem is FDXMS need to update, but we didn't see Martin appear a long time, also FDXMS was designed in 1995 by Till Gerken, PC speed have a great leap from 4.77MHz to now 2.8GHz average, the FDXMS or HIMEM design was not good enough for nowadays high speed Ethernet access. >he wrote a mail "Mr FDXMS maintainer, you are stupid because you >leave interrupts disabled", and this is because FDXMS did not get >updated (as insults do not make people follow advice)? > >Sorry for the harsh words, but I hope you get the idea... Harsh doesn't matter, please don't attack the other programmers and tell the others WE speak that, it's from Eric Auer, NOT me and Jack. >The bug is not a few flaws in FDXMS or HIMEM. They could be fixed. >The bug is in the hearts of a few programmers who are too proud >to notify each other about bugs in their software, politely. Jack never hide the way to fix the bug, but someone did play a lot of English literature to attack him, and claim that "compatibility is not an issue!". Well, such impolite action was very upset, we better leave him alone, no more discussion, otherwise I'll receive those "literature" again, too difficult for me, I'm not graduate, just a Form-5 (grade 10 in US) student. >PS: I doubt that Mark Bailey understands Assembly language >or the technical details related to writing XMS drivers ;-). Enough! Please stop mocking Mark Bailey, he is a few good guy I met, don't get him or the others, involved into your evil whirls. Johnson. P.S. Now I fully agree with Joe Cosentino, his eye much clearer than me. I must quote his message, to let the others "know" the fact: ===== To: "FreeDOS Devel" <freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Freedos-devel] Proposed name change From: "Joe Cosentino" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2005 19:42:34 -0500 Hey all, I've got a proposed name change for the FreeDOS project. Why don't we just call it the EricDOS project. Because he's practically the only one actually contributing to the project, and I'll tell you why that is. It's not because he's a good programmer who wants to see this through...no. It's because you, Eric, have pissed so many people off that no one wants to work with you and have therefore left the project. Why do you think so many of the core group of developers have left the project. It's not because they're too busy, it's because they dont want to deal with YOU. Myself included. God you're fucking annoying. Later, Joe ===== ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
