I saw Wilhelm's earlier comment and started thinking about some of its
implications: i) NLS support: Is there anybody who can tell me if all DOS
commands support [J(a)|Nein] or [O(ui)|N(on)] etc. instead of [Y(es)|N(o)]? If
not, they should do it. As a translator you never know what to do.

I have been browsing those patches a bit. So I can share some insights
about them, also implying many
Hi Tom,
to quote a 2018 FAT16 speed test example by Jack, copying a
mix of files and directories of different sizes disk to disk:
Plain FreeDOS 65s
With LBACACHE 61s adds a small cache
With UIDE 51s adds UDMA and larger cache
With UHDD 47s all the above plus read-ahead
With XHDD 43s all the

could you please detail how you measured 'the lack of I/O speed of our

Hi everybody,
I also agree that there should be a next release candidate
first, not immediately a FreeDOS 1.3 release.
Even when RC5 is perfect, nobody would stop us from simply
bumping the version number for release. And when it is not
perfect, things can be improved before the actual
Hi Thraex,
I agree with you. A RC5 would also be helpful for me to see if everything works
correct.
With some of NLS files at Github I have absolutely no idea why it should make
sense to
translate them at all. So I will not translate them for the moment.
