Those extra "spaces" may not really be spaces at all -- they may actually be ASCII 0 or ASCII 255, which look like a regular space (ASCII 32) on the screen even though they aren't. I've ran into similar issues at various times that have caused me all kinds of grief. There are also some DOS

A user emailed me with what they thought was a bug, but to me it looks like everything is okay. Ironically, I think it's QBASIC that has the issue. Here's the "bug" as described to me: The user ran PC Tools on FreeDOS and navigated around. They exited PC Tools into a directory (BAS_DAT) that

Hi Rugxulo, [3] Windows 3.0 started to catch on. That meant HIMEM.SYS and XMS as standard; LIM-spec EMS started to fade. Apps like 1-2-3 r3 used DOS extenders routinely. Memory management really got important but everyone was buying 386SXs so you could sell them QEMM even if they didn't want

Hi Paul, I can reproduce this on T2307. It is running fine on a test image with self-build kernel (Git master, IA16-GCC) and alternative command shell (SvarCOM). The problem also does not occur under T2307 with SvarCOM as a shell. But I am not yet sure if it is the kernel or FreeCOM to blame.
