Talking about getting FreeDOS ready for version 1.0, you might want to update your kernels:
kernel2036-source.zip kernel2036-binary.zip in http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/ contain the following improvements compared to the SF.net 2036test file release: - improved serial port handling: added ComInStat support to help programs which are polling the serial port via DOS - VERSION= in config sys now works as expected Note: update your CALLVER (also on my homepage, ...soft/specials/) to enjoy some extra functionality related to that :-). - FAT32 handling masks out the 4 reserved bits of FAT entries, as some people had nonzero values there, which caused truncated file access. Note that 2036 is the "conservative" kernel: More modern but less tested features can be found in kernel 2037, the testing/devel/unstable kernel. The differences between the source code of both kernels are quite big, but the differences in functionality should be relatively small... Most changes involve things like the menu system, WfW311 compatibility, and optimizations, as far as I remember. If anybody could write a summary of the differences, it would be very interesting to read. Eric PS: I forgot my SF login so I cannot add the changes to CVS... Anybody who wants to help with that...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
