Hi, FreeDOS has the XMS swap FreeCOM command com as the default on most systems now. If you explicitly want a version which does NOT allocate XMS, e.g. because you want to load WinCE, then you should download one... PROBLEM: Do NOT get those files --> http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/packages/ Do NOT get those files either: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/packages/XMS-Swap/ Instead, get one of THOSE files: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/packages/082pl3/ The normal XMS swap version is in xmsswap zip, the version which does NOT use XMS is in binary zip, the sources are in com082pl3 zip, the "create a version in your language" (several languages are already included, but e.g. French is outdated) is in localize zip, and so on.
[Bonus problem: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freecom/FreeCOM.html#-download should link to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109&package_id=9826 but instead it links to some outdated /file?group=5109 URL] If you use FreeDOS to load WinCE, please behave better than Neoware.com which have hidden the FreeDOS copyright messages on their old Eon systems (with FreeCOM 0.76b from 3/1999, FDXMS driver from 1995, ancient kernel...). Their config sys just loaded FDXMS and their autoexec bat only ran "loadce /Plogo.pcx nk.bin", oneliners. After all, FreeDOS is free, but you should at least be proud of using it. Eric PS: Can some WEB MASTER please clean up /freecom/ a bit?
