I've never looked at UIDE closely, but there's "always" room for space
improvement in assembly!!   ;-)

Is anybody working on FD 1.2? I haven't heard anything (and don't
think we need it just yet anyways). Switching things around is, I
guess, that person's ultimate decision (Bernd??).

I hate to open up a can of worms (so tedious ...), but did Bernd or
Jeremy ever publish any scripts to build the .ISOs? Meh, just the
"idea" sounds difficult. Bah. But we can still dream, can't we?   ;-)

VBox lets you choose how much % of processor to use, so it doesn't
have to use 100% all the time. I just wonder whether their bugs are
due to their tweaked BIOS or some hidden instruction incompatibility
or what.   :-/
