Hi, as fdshield could conceivably freeze DOS, I replaced all "retf +2" commands in fdshield by less "invasive" code. This means that the updated fdshield no longer messes for example with the interrupt enabled / disabled state of the caller. The update should make fdshield generally more well-behaved. Note that nobody did yet report that fdshield froze his apps. Still an update should not hurt... :-).
Get the updated fdshield at: http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/fdshield-2006aug31.zip Enjoy :-). The binary is 4kB small...
