Hi, thanks!

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? > FreeCOM with LFN is definitely cool but things like those > make me happy about still having 0.82pl3 as fallback :-p :-). 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 :-( -- Florian Xaver Webdesign, Sword (DOS GUI): <http://www.flox.at.tf> oZone - desktop enviroment f.
