Hi Jim,

Interestingly, when you left the online meeting, it kept going at
least for a few seconds until I clicked end-call.

I don’t know if it would have kept going indefinitely.

We will have to try that next time.


That is interesting! I wonder how long it would have kept going? (My
guess: only another minute or two.) You should definitely stay on next
time to see when (if?) it kicks you off.
I think that is just an "artifact" of using a video conferencing in a 
web browser and possibly associated buffering.

1. Willi's HTML Help update. I sent another email to freedos-devel so
everyone could see this announcement. I'll also post an announcement
on the website.
I might have missed this while trying to adjust the settings in Google 
Meet, but what exactly is the problem with AMB?


2. The Book8088 problem. This was an interesting one to me. Bernd
reported that there's a bug in XT-IDE where if you check for LBA more
than once, it hangs. Folks are working on it. It would be *great* to
see follow-up discussion on this topic in freedos-devel.
The general problem that I see here is to have an environment to 
actually test this, which I think might be a bit hard if one doesn't 
actually have one of those devices...


3. Kernel updates from Jeremy. There are a few updates coming,
including Win311 compatibility. Jeremy had planned to make a release
of some kind in December, but got delayed. We were all interested in
trying out the new kernel in the next Monthly Test Build (T2403).
Jeremy plans to share an update on freedos-devel - hopefully soon -
even if it's just a "pre-release" version of the kernel.

BTW, we had a great conversation today, thanks to everyone who joined:
Willi, Eric, Jerome, Ralf, Jeremy, Bernd, and Omar. We had some
"social time" chat in there too, like learning the MAD programming
language, learning assembly, .. but mostly we focused on these
technical topics:

1. Willi's HTML Help update. I sent another email to freedos-devel so
everyone could see this announcement. I'll also post an announcement
on the website.

2. The Book8088 problem. This was an interesting one to me. Bernd

4. Bernd is planning some fixes to HTML Help. I'll let Bernd share
details about that here on freedos-devel.


We're planning the next FreeDOS virtual get-together for Sunday, March
10 at the usual time. Unless a technical topic comes up in early
March, the next meeting will be "social time." That's a great
opportunity to get to know other FreeDOS people as more than just an
email address.

Well, that email didn't get sent out on time ("fifteen minutes") ...
sorry for the delay. Meeting is starting now. :-)
