Re: [Freedos-user] FreeCom: Wrong DIR behavior on empy disks.

IIRC I had reported this BUG some time ago ... if volume is
empty, I want to see how much space for bloat I have ;-)

Hi for the third,

 IIRC I had reported this BUG some time ago ... if volume is
 empty, I want to see how much space for bloat I have ;-)

That is not a bug, dos386. FreeCOM command.com DIR does this
intentionally, as far as I remember for mimicking MS style,
which in turn might be necessary for some older batch files.

However, I understand your point, so maybe we could either
make this configurable (maybe even dynamically, DIR settings
in an environment variable already are supported anyway) or
we could have a vote about what style is preferred ;-)

Eric

[Freedos-user] mTCP 2011-07-29 (with HTGet)

2011-07-29 Thread Michael B. Brutman

The next mTCP is available, with HTGet now included:

http://code.google.com/p/mtcp/

There are two versions of the pre-compiled binaries to choose from - 
standard and -upx. The -upx version binaries are compressed with a 
program called UPX that decompresses the programs at load time. You will 
see that the binaries are much smaller in size, and it only takes a 
little more time to load the programs even on the slowest machines. 
(Bernd gave me the idea - thanks!)
