Hello,
I've tried running GEM/XM under freedos kernels 2035b, 2036, 2037, and
"Christian" experimental build (later renamed 2038pre).  Official
documentation says it will not work due to using FCBs to read the driver
loading file, 'ASSIGN.SYS'.  GEM/XM complains about "assign.sys," then
dies.  So I conclude that 1. the GEM/XM documentation is correct and 2.
there is a serious bug in the freedos kernel (fcbfns.c?) regarding how
FCBs are handled.
I have not seen any mentions of fixes for this in 2038.  If it has been
fixed in any kernel builds, please respond on the list.  I _hope_ to see
GEM/XM running in FreeDOS 1.1
Thanks.
