Yes, the repack contains 1,177 files. > For example, VirtualBox and VMWare include FDNet as well as the set for 386s. Note that these things have empty categories in the official build, per below. > Does it make any accommodations for different hardware?

In the RC4 repack, yes, the @LISTFILE method is equivalent to the "slicer /g" switch. In the RC5 repack, no, it just does the same thing as "/g *". // Two unexpected results from the second experiment are: * The tarball method isn't worthwhile, despite using a solid archive format. * The InfoZIP zipsplit method is better than the PKZip spanning method. // In the official FreeDOS 1.3-RC5 floppy edition, %TTAGS% for things like networking and virtualization are empty. When I manually unpack FREEDOS.SAF, I get these categories and file counts: 186: 919 286: 1027 386: 1155 486: 1155 586: 1155 686: 1155 8086: 919 8088: 919 AMBHELP: 11 AMBREAD: 7 APPEND: 14 ASSIGN: 17 ATTRIB: 11 CALLVER: 6 CGA: 807 CHKDSK: 6 CHOICE: 33 COMP: 7 CPIDOS: 27 CTMOUSE: 34 CWSDPMI: 14 DEBUG: 17 DEFAULT: 0 DEFRAG: 7 DELTREE: 11 DEVLOAD: 9 DISKCOMP: 7 DISKCOPY: 19 DISPLAY: 10 EDIT: 10 EDLIN: 40 EGA: 1177 EXE2BIN: 13 FC: 26 FDAPM: 9 FDHELPER: 26 FDIMPLES: 16 FDINST: 5 FDISK: 26 FDNET: 20 FDNPKG: 21 FDXMS: 13 FDXMS286: 12 FIND: 27 FORMAT: 13 FREECOM: 48 FREEDOS: 1177 GRAPHICS: 11 GZIP: 11 HIMEMX: 10 JEMM: 24 KERNEL: 26 KEYB: 10 KEYB_LAY: 25 LABEL: 13 LBACACHE: 13 MEM: 19 MIRROR: 16 MKEYB: 10 MODE: 8 MORE: 33 MOVE: 19 NANSI: 8 NETWORK: 20 NLSFUNC: 11 PRINT: 7 RECOVER: 7 REPLACE: 9 SHARE: 6 SHSUCDX: 8 SHSUFDRV: 12 SORT: 21 SWSUBST: 7 TREE: 22 UDVD2: 7 UNDELETE: 11 UNFORMAT: 12 UNZIP: 11 V8POWER: 144 VGA: 1177 XCOPY: 19 ZIP: 18 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
