Hi,

Here is a new devel version of the FDNPKG package (including FDINST, as 
usual). The big change is that I use zlib now, instead of tinfl.

gopher://gopher.viste.fr/1/temp

My limited tests show that it doesn't fail any more on neither the 
'lzma' nor 'help' packages, which the previous deflate library was 
failing on when compiled to a 16bit target.

This should solve all the -15 and -9 errors you had (these errors being 
"DEFLATE failure" and "CRC mismatch", respectively).

The -2 errors you reported will NOT be solved ("cannot create file"), 
since these are related to LFN handling, and as far as I know, Open 
Watcom doesn't support LFN natively (and I don't plan to write my own 
INT-based LFN client implementation, nor using a specialized library for 
that). Ideally, a FreeDOS package shouldn't contain LFN files, but 
unfortunately some software uses non-8+3 filenames in their sources... 
No idea how this could be solved 'cleanly' at the package level.

I do not know whether this devel version will solve troubles related to 
freezing and/or inability to reinstall packages. It might solve them, if 
TINFL was trashing memory for whatever reason. But it also might be some 
FDNPKG bug just as well, or not related to FDNPKG/TINFL at all. I will 
have to do more tests, so far I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior 
you described.

Mateusz
