Hi Jim,
If there was a 'Test.' message I could not see it.
After running the .exe file, it prompted me with a dialog about the
process -- yes, it seems that it needs some Windows environment behind
(I've very little knowledge about Windows, I've stoped using it on my
machines since Win95). Unfortunately, a further battery problem prevented
me from finishing the update process, but it went far beyond from the
FreeDOS experience. A new battery is on the way and I hope to have it by
the end of this week. I'll report here the complete process, with success,
I hope.
Thanks and best regards.
