how in god name would that be obvious?
are we all required to note all your more or less old emails?

anyway, I downloaded this, and replaced the 32-bit system\unzip.exe
with 16-bit unzip.exe from ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/msdos/unz600x3.exe
which makes everything behave much better under VirtualBox.



then I created 3 instances of this machine, replacing command.com
by commandT/W/G.com in https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/releases/tag/com084pre6

everything else identical.
tested on Windows-32, VirtualBox, 256 MB machine size.


the idea is that they should behave identical. They don't.

*********************************************************************

here's a watcom bug:

start the machine.
run
   TESTS JED

this should download a lot of stuff, build JED (whatever that is), and keep the
machine busy for 10 minutes.

FreeCOM-watcom  will stop fairly quickly with

unzip: cannot find any matches for wildcard specification fil4*.zip
....
and short after abort the build.

strange side effect: after this test, the command


   a:>copy commandW.com system\command.com
results in
   the COPY destination must not contain plus ('+') characters.

this might be easier to locate




freecom-T and -G   (seem to) behave as expected.

*********************************************************************
just to save everybody else some time:

restart machine.
   TESTS AWK    (seems to) work

restart machine.
   TESTS OBERON16 seems to work, but

nearly at the end (after bef93om.mod) , commandG  results in 'out of memory 
error'
not good.

*********************************************************************
restart machine.
   TESTS JWASMDJ
