I'm confused, Eric. My version of Edit is labeled
0.7d. I have been using it for awhile now and I like
it a lot, with the calendar and the ascii table. It
seems to be stable, too.
What do you consider your best version to be at this
point?
The way the program is now, it makes the most of a

Hi Bernd,
Here are the latest tests from today using the new SYS 3.6; it did not
solve the problem, but the issues are narrowed down. It all comes down
to getting an MS boot sector onto a FAT16 partition, but without any
other system files (IO.SYS etc). The first test below which failed, is

Perhaps the simple solution is to have a SYS command line switch, that
allows the end-user to install a 512b boot sector of their choice to the
target partition? This would get round any copyright issues and make it
very flexible. I don't think this is possible with the
Hi,
My message from yesterday evening about Windows Builds has only just

I also checked the FreeDOS mail archive earlier today (in case it was an
issue with my ISP) and the message was not on the
Hi Bernd,
Bootsectors contain geometry (disk/partition layout information) which
can change.
So this is all a matter of just copying bootsectors and omitting system
files, it seems.
I don't understand this statement. Do you mean to say So this is _not_

Hi Bernd,
OK, in that case the whole thing is much more complicated than I
realized. The only way this could ever work is if FreeDOS SYS or FORMAT
could emulate the MS boot sector _and_ geometry behavior. As you say,
WinImage does seem to manage this.
In terms of copyright, the end user

Hi Bernd,
In sourcecode, SYS v3.6 is still under development :)

how can I test?
Without enough testing, more delay to an official release ... this
