Please test, assuming no major issues pop up in the next few days, this
weekend I will be making a new official FreeCom release.
For those with a 186 or better please use
http://www.fdos.org/kernel/cmdxms.HEAD.zip (English only)
http://www.fdos.org/kernel/cmdxms.HEAD.NLS.zip (other languages)
For those with a 8086 (or better), some options disabled
http://www.fdos.org/kernel/cmd8086.HEAD.zip
Source, same as that in cvs.

The only changes I plan on making before the release are finalizing the
version (0.84 per prior discussion) is to update the Italian translation
(assuming I can get a copy of them -- the site with them presently does
not DNS resolve for me).
