oops, just saw this. actually, I don't know where this is documented, I was only able to see a brief blow-by mention of the function. does anyone know where documentation on int21h function 7303h is, since it is apparently publicly available somewhere? From

I am using 2.04. I was hoping a hint might spark some documentation on the FreeDOS filesystem API so others (like me) can do development. :-) you might see an increase in freedos programs if your API was documented. who knows, maybe even commercial systems might be made or something. I am h

I am possibly going to rewrite my df utility to work with freeDOS' FAT32 filesystem (DJGPP uses int21h function 36h which is 16-bit FAT16 and 16-bit regs). I cannot find any documentation on the functions that freedos uses for its filesystem functions, like getting filesystem volume space calcu
