There is a 2003 exe version of memtest (memtest, memtest86, memtest86+ whatever... I only remember it was one of the right family :-)) on my page: www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/memteste.zip You can (or maybe should) run it with HIMEM loaded but you must not have EMM386 loaded. You can use my "memteste" binary as SHELL if you want to create a really small DOS bootdisk with memtest. > REM if not "%config%"=="4" LH FDAPM APMDOS Why not? :-p > if not "%config%"=="4" C:\FDOS\drivers\net\crynwr\ne2000 0x60 12 0x280 It might be better to let the driver autodetect port and IRQ.

As Jim said - curl defaults to "show file contents" and not to "download to file" unless you use -o, maybe this confuses fdupdate.

Re: [Freedos-user] Using curl with fdupdate.
Sorry, that should be the "-O" option. For example:
curl -O http://-/file.zip
.. will download the file and name it "file.zip".
The "-o" option is only if you want to name the local file ("-o local.zip").
To provide an example, the WGET.BAT wrapper should be fairly straightforward:
curl -O %1

No, you don't need DJGPP to get wget working, as it is already compiled. You only need CWSDPMI (or any other DPMI environment). When exactly do you get the error? Is the bug manifesting each time you run FDUPDATE? What are your startup files (autoexec & config)? Where do you got your wget copy from?

[Freedos-user] Using curl with fdupdate.
How do I use curl with freedos update? The first trick was finding curl. Copying curl over wget prevents fdupdate from crashing, but it doesn't make the updater work. On the todo list there is make fdupdate able to use curl, is there a post 0.52 update? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
