Hi again!
It seems the djgpp-compiled 32-bit version of the comcom shell of dosemu2 will be abandoned, moving to a 64-bit only version.
Stas found out that comcom64 is compatible with 32-bit toolchains, so dosemu2 could keep an eye on that to keep comcom64 compatible with 32-bit builds for plain DOS use. Even a continous integration automated CI testing eye ;-) So instead of adopting comcom32, joining comcom64 work https://github.com/stsp/comcom64 (maybe soon in dosemu2 GIT?) and then compiling a 32-bit DOS version with DJGPP can be an alternative way to get another nice shell for DOS.
Maybe somebody wants to pick up comcom32 for use in plain DOS: https://github.com/dosemu2/comcom32
There are some comcom32 issues and wishes at the moment: https://github.com/dosemu2/comcom32/issues - CD changes drive - COPY does not support concatenation mode - MORE only half-works, see issue #17 - some build issues - build instructions for README - cannot be used as PC-DOS SHELL=... because of empty env - no int 2f.aexx installable command API - no tab completion support yet - batch file /Y mode would be interesting - might be interesting to add mouse support - might be interesting to add a built-in MEM
Note that this shell requires CWSDPMI exe in the same directory as the comcom binary, for example the root directory, if you want to use it as the primary shell. According to the source code comments, TIME, DATE, CHOICE, MORE and PAUSE still need work. For example MORE just does TYPE as far as I can tell. Regards, Eric
