The bootdir now works, and in version 1.0.1 it will even work without a
boot.blk file, but in my tests lredir did not work directly.
There are other issues with Freedos's command.com (even basic stuff like
cd, dir and copy). Somebody else had problems with printing in the past.
Freedos does not use UMB's and the HMA, AFAIK; freedos uses a lot of
conventional memory. I've had some file corruption with freedos in the
past. This might be solved however. But if you like to stay on the safe
side, I would still use DR-DOS (limited version free as in beer for use
under DOSEMU; full version free as in beer for non-commercial use; see
www.drdos.com / ftp.drdos.com) or even MS-DOS including Win9x's DOS.
