Actually, I can read myself ;) since I entered the project (2001), there was no MASM sources anywhere, and no BC 3.01 in the kernel, and it BC xx wouldn't have worked after my HMA additions. Now - what use has a spec, if noone cares the slighest about it ? what use has a spec, if it hasn't been updated since 1995 ? is it something like the bible, or should it be something reflecting (intended) reality ? I prefer the latter - and won't care about any outdated specs. tom ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
