Hi,

thanks!

Eric, "fdapm warmboot" (in QEMU) hangs with latest EMM386.

DOS32A extender seems to have problems too. MPXPLAY has a problem with  
keyboard  (QEMU).

See above. I tested with UDMA driver.

FreeCM 0.84-pre2: What should "copy d: ." do? :-))
I wanted to copy the new himem.exe and emm386.exe with "copy d: ."  
(instead d:\*.*) to the FreeDOS
directory, old files should be overwritten. FreeCOM copied one file  
(emm386.exe). Is this ok?

I don't like a base disc without DOSLFN and with LFN=N. Please include the  
LFN driver!

Bye

PS: Last tests were under QEMU (Windows), I haven't more time today and  
tomorrow for testing :-(
