Sorry about that. I thought Jeremy was going to share his update to the
freedos-devel email list, so I didn't repost for him.

Yes, there's a new version of FreeCOM and the kernel out. I started testing
them this morning. I found one issue in FreeCOM 0.85 thanks to Burkhard M.
When running a program, the shell doesn't track the return value to the
caller. All builds of FreeCOM 0.85 set the ERRORLEVEL environment variable
correctly, but using IF ERRORLEVEL doesn't work. I think IF ERRORLEVEL is
always evaluating as if the return was zero.

Haven't looked into the code yet.

I'll also enter a bug for it.

Jim
