Hi everyone! This has now been mirrored on ibiblio, and I've updated the web page on FreeDOS.org about it. Most of our mirrors will automatically update themselves with the Beta9sr1 release in the next few days, so I'll update the "Download" page again later this week to provide a list of mirro

Hi: Thanks for the information. However, MS-DOS 4.10. (no GUI) fixes this. Apparently, so does DR DOS/OpenDOS. So, it is possible to "fix" the Borland bug in DOS. I didn't even install the Windows GUI for this test, just a few basic MS-DOS files from Windows 98SE. Bernd Blaauw suggested a

Hi Bernd: Oh, it's possible. I could manually extract the files I want from the bootable CD and do the COPY and SYS commands. I just want an easier way to get the \fdos\bin tree. Unless the FreeDOS "SYS" command is broken and always accesses C:? That would be ugly...I suppose I'd have to manua
