Hi Christian, > 6.22 doesn't include LBA, FAT32 and LFN-aware command line, > so FreeDOS mostly aims to be compatible to 7.10.
I would not count in strict numbers here - for me, it is okay to say "5.0 with several 6.22ish tools and the 7.10ish features of LBA and FAT32". Note that LFN is in the separate DOSLFN driver with different license. > This does not include Windows compatibility. Regarding > Windows 3.x FreeDOS (with unstable kernel) tries to > be either 6.22 or 7.10 Actually this is not even a default part of the unstable branch, you have to enable it with a compile time option so you could call it "even more unstable". > or (with stable kernel) a mix of 3.xx and either 6.22 > or 7.10, which seems to work not so well. Actually only standard mode works well (WIN /S) which is crippled (a sort of "safe mode") in WfW 3.11. You should not use EMM386 if your Windows config is one that tries to "take over" EMS services because that take over only works with GEMMIS compatible EMM386. Note that Windows 3.x only supports at most 256 MB RAM and no LBA / FAT32, but you can work around by config (disable Windows disk access drivers and change the RAM/swap overcommit from default 4 to 1). Then it can work with FAT32 / LBA and up to 1 GB RAM. If you have more, you have to tell HIMEM/EMM386 to hide the rest.
