Ask Yahoo!...

Of course, your Freecom shall have to play a minimum game of releasing its own initialisation code and data, resizing and possibly moving things along. Basic DOS system coding skills, not rocket science. This is/the/ official shell we are talking of, not some half baked throwable transient proggy, it deserves having a minimum of /intelligent design/ applied :=) There are even other enhancements that could be made in the same domain, an easy one is to give back the /initial/ environment (if any) received by your Command from its caller (or from Sysinit). It is of no use after the Master ENV is built. Freeing it would give FreeDOS an edge over MS Command. But the important is the above. You (or was it Eric) repeated that FreeCOM had to follow MS-Command, but in this respect it doesn't even start to try, I am /sorry/ to observe. What is the legal status of 4DOS in relation to FreeDOS ? There's a fully baked product, could it become /the/ main FD shell ? >> How do you say "arrogance" in German, Herr /Doktor/ Ehlert ? > Arroganz. Itself ! I may sound harsh, but being accused of ignorance by more ignorant is the only word of excuse I will utter. Let's forget /name calling/ ?
