Re: [Freedos-devel] Kernel version
Hi Lucho. There is also one other for DR-DOS and something (which I don't know) for Datalife-ROM-DOS. Right. I posted the ROM-DOS one at the kernel mailing list last year. Do you have it handy to send it back to me? I hava a dos version program and I do have a rom-dos and I would like to test it. You've always been honest to me so I'll be honest to you, too. I'm too busy/lazy/whatever to implement this, so here's an excuse: "Please redirect your request to FreeDOS-kernel mailing list" ;-) Never mind, I will do it some day To be even more honest (cynical?), I don't care about anything but FAT32/80386 kernels. But fortunately, Bart is not like me ;-) In fact my focus in on that too :) Alain --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

[Freedos-devel] DISPLAY 0.10b ready
Hi, This is to announce a revision of DISPLAY 0.10, namely DISPLAY 0.10b. It just fixes a couple of bugs: - a bug that assumed a space to lead the parameter - a bug affecting the DISPLAY Installation check function (AD00h in int2Fh) MODECON.EXE also disappears from the distribution: please always use latest version of FreeDOS MODE.

So as I see, to insist to change anything here is useless and I won't do it again Alas, the RBIL has not been updated for the last 4 years, and will never be anymore :-( did Ralf Brown tell you that? Any other source, other then just speculating from having no updates? What source are you talking about? I don't know him personally. Let Matthias say that. He does. My point is: The more time passes, the more impossible it becomes to update the RBIL. So I have no illusions that there will ever be more updates. But all this is just a personal opinion of mine of course. And as we all know that most things I say or do are wrong, that's the only hope for an update of the RBIL! ;-) In this case, unlike the other cases, I'd be glad to be wrong!!! Lucho P.S.
