Hallo Eric,
Even 2035z would still mean a sufficiently small CX value and 32RTM would work.
If CX is nonzero, 32RTM will *not* work. And CX *is* zero in *all* DOS version I've tested (MS-DOS, PC-DOS, ROM-DOS and DR-DOS). Michael, Tom and Alain are right. There's nothing else we could do but clear CX. What's more important after all - that FreeCOM shows 1.1.35 instead of 0.0.35, or that 32RTM works? I think that the answer is obvious for everybody.
Yes we DO want to mention the license! MENTION. Not display the whole 18k file, obviously.
That's exactly what I meant with my proposal (it fits on 2 lines despite the wraparound that my mail client will probably do):
FreeDOS kernel build 2035a-UNSTABLE Copyleft 1985-2004 Pasquale J. Villani and
The FreeDOS Project. NO WARRANTY. Licensed under the GNU General Public License
This increases the size in RAM by ZERO bytes and the size on disk by some really small number of bytes - and our kernel is very small on disk already anyway. So leave the banner message as is, thank you.
The current message does more than simply MENTIONING the GPL. That's why I think it's too long. Just MENTIONING the GPL is enough - most people nowadays already know it. It's not like it was back in 1991!
