Hi All,
I finally had a little time today to dig into:
"Why T2309 build was ignoring the directive to exclude the external FDISK
Language file and was running out of space on the 720k boot floppy diskette."
After spending an hour or so trying to debug the RBE to locate the problem, the

I know these tiny little things were slow, but I'd still expect 10 KB/sec
decompression speed on a 8088;
i.e. 'fast enough' (tm).

Trixter has an 8088 version of LZ4 which is typically faster PKZIP,
zlib/gzip, and bzip2.

I will try to build some compression mechanism into AMB, so that the
help files get smaller. The main FreeDOS help file would also benefit
from that, I think.

Hi All,
The FreeDOS Monthly Interim Build for September will be delayed.
The latest version of FDISK includes a large language translation file. That
file is preventing the 720k Floppy version from building. Normally, I would
just tell the RBE to exclude that file. There are a number of such
