Go read Jim's manifesto ;-) Wasn't it the purpose of FreeDOS 1.0? What changed with 8086 code? I think nothing. Since FreeDOS 1.0, support for 8086 actually improved. A few executables were unnecessarily incompatible with 8086 and have been fixed through trivial changes to compilation/compression settings. Also I'm quite sure that there were real bugfixes for at least one 8086 compatible program. And of course there will be future bugfixes for programs that are currently 8086 compatible.

[Freedos-user] CWSDPMI crashes on QEMU resolved
I noticed that CWSDPMI does not work properly under older versions of QEMU (a PC emulator). The symptom is that programs using CWSDPMI will crash immediately with a Page Fault error message. This problem is fixed in QEMU version 0.8.2. Earlier versions of QEMU did not correctly update the flags register during TSS jumps [1]. Unfortunately the QEMU changelog does not mention this issue. The same problem was previously reported by others, and is apparently the reason why CWSDPMI was silently replaced with HDPMI32 in the FreeDOS 1.0 distribution [2]. Since it now appears that the problem is completely due to a bug in QEMU, which has since been fixed, we may consider putting back the real CWSDPMI in the next release. I should mention that Eric Auer repeatedly encouraged me to look into this issue. Without that, I would simply have given up on CWSDPMI.
