that change is just one of quite a few changes that went into the FreeDOS kernel since it's last release in September. To simplify distribution I'd like to only distribute released FreeDOS components. -- it's quite an obscure function that your program uses, feel free to use that kernel.sys I sent in October; over time dosemu-freedos will be updated again which supersedes that kernel.sys. It always takes quite a bit of time to organize a freedos kernel release, to update the dosemu-freedos tarball, make sure the sources are in sync, deal with the sourceforge file release system, ... So for now it's more efficient to keep dosemu-freedos tarball the same for a fair amount of time; it works well enough for the majority of DOS programs and for the minority it fails for people could update individual components, which is just what you did. Hope that explains the reasons behind it a bit. > There is another problem: with the german keyboard layout we have a "§" > (paragraph) at shift-3.

Something trivial might be wrong in the unicode tables: if I copy and paste from "man iso-8859-1" character 163 or your email to dosemu I get the British Pound sign (£).
