Hi Robert,
> * High CPU usage in FreeDOS EDIT 0.9a > https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/264/ It says the clock prevents EDIT from going idle, can you check which older versions are affected? My copy of 0.9a does not include the dflat source code, while version 0.82 still does. Version 0.82 looks at 40:6c to poll the time to avoid hooking int 8 (not even 1c?) for clock ticks. You could probably change timed_out() and wait() to call anything which gives FDAPM a hint that they are waiting for something, or at least add some HLT to them... The problem with hooking int 8 is that you may get a crash after leaving EDIT non-neatly, after any uncaught errors, without calling StopMsg(). Version 0.6a is the last which uses int 8 as-is. Using int 8 is still available as compile time option in newer versions, if you want to test. > * welcome.bat is broken if LANG=FR > https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/293/ Is welcome.bat still used at all? > * clamav (clamscan) -> Warning: .. unrar support unavailable > ERROR: Can't get file status > https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/290/ I suggest to drop clamscan - outdated antivirus is often worse than no antivirus at all. You can still use fdshield to get a little protection. > * german keyboard layout > https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/bugs/229/ You mean https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/229/ and the thread has long pauses - is this about MKEYB? Or the distro? If yes, which versions? > * [Freedos-kernel] Codepage and time separator data errors in COUNTRY.SYS > https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/36907464/ The kernel seems to have moved from sourceforge to github?
