Hi Eric, 2009/4/25 Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de>:

This change has been made to improve compatibility with other compilers. * The segment argument used with _dos_allocmem(), _dos_freemem() and _dos_setblock() is now unsigned int instead of unsigned short. This change was made for compatibility with other compilers. " So it's a good change because it makes OW compatible with MSVC, DJGPP etc. > - when did they do it, what is version "1280"? OW 1.8 > - what are the hopes that they fix that regression? I don't think they will; it's deliberate. And sys only gets a warning, but the compilation breaks because it sets the compiler option "err on warning". > PS: Is the kernel compilation itself affected, too?
