Hi, Eric Auer !
PS: XBDA and moving it is not necessarily trivial.
Our EBDA mover is working flawlessly AFAICT.Old code of mine actually,
written for MSDOS 5+ before MS introduced the switches=/E option (or
before I was aware of the switch?). Last week when I had discovered
that the

You can't escape having to explain what adverse effects you were evoking,
now anyway.
command.com is a 'normal' program. just allocating DOS memory will
give you an environment at ~1800:0. not such a good idea.
You are joking, Herr

you would end up with

How lame ! Of course, your Freecom shall have to play a minimum game of

Accepted. I've passed the message, now letting things ripen (and tone down)
Hi,
Should OTOH you (and the FreeDOS project at large) wish to offer the
free XBDA mover as a supplement/alternative to FreeDOS's internal, I'll
contact you for arranging the mirroring. It's a simple, robust and
tiny DOS device driver coded in ASM, a few hundred bytes altogether.

Hi Bertho,
I've spent the last three hours writing a tiny COM program that moves
COMMAND.COM's environment block to the lowest address possible (using
DOS's low memory first fit strategy). Unfortunately, it does not seem to

My bet would be on JEMM as the one which messes with memory control
blocks.
You're right. It is JEMM.
Yup. TSRs which are never unloaded would not be a problem, otherwise
they could leave holes, but that's life... One could even re-run your
program and try to relocate the ENV again into
Thanks. It would work indeed because - as I was checking a few minutes
before reading your mail - FreeCOM does maintain the master environment
pointer (its segment) in its PSP:3Ch slot, additionally FreeCOM seems
to use the contents of that 'slot', not some copy it made, whenever
it needs to
