Hi Michael, > An rsync server? I need help ... there is not enough time
If you ask me, rsync works well and is safer when you can do it over ssh, but that sort of leads to the question whether you have a SSH server for DOS. Nice clients include ssh2dos. > strict programming API I can use temp files as backing storage Note that DOS is not multi-tasked so that will also have some issues. A nice alternative could be XMS, of course :-) > One thing that frustrates me is that there is no way to make a > 'bad' pointer on an 8088.

I guess some compilers or macros could add null pointer checks for you or could even check at compile time whether there is a risk to use un-set pointers at all. And of course you can do things yourself - beautiful code with checks and logging etc. > Also slightly related - Pasquale Villani.

Sad news that he had to pass away that early :-( A loss for his friends and for the FreeDOS community...
