Hi, I was wrong about item 2 of my mail: The link http://fdos.org/kernel/command.com leads to a classic FreeCOM 0.82pl3, build date 12/2003, file date 1/2005, which uses XMS SWAP, supports LOADHIGH but does not support LOADFIX... So: The file is older than I thought but at least it does support LOADHIGH. So this was partially wrong:

I guess unless somebody can compile a classic FreeCOM 0.82pl3 with LOADFIX enabled, things could stay as they are for the "classic FreeCOM" item on fdos.org ... People with 8086 stone age computers would still want to have a CALL S style FreeCOM, not XMS SWAP, but this additional item is probably very optional in the year 2006 ;-). Eric PS: I wrote a tiny tool to display the kernel version string from the DOS prompt (includes the build date). Let me know if you want a copy. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
