Hi Michael,

Ok, thanks. Then is noone is against, I'll move those to post-1.0.
I chose to set those there, as in the examples they seemed to be popular options.
Particularly, what I missed mostly is VCPI, so thanks for that.
By the way, I have remembered that I should list VDMA there too, pre- or post-?

Hi all,

I have commited some changes to the list (some more to go, read below), and I am 
submitting a message to met you know.
In addition, comments are welcome: if you consider that such or such option should be 
left for post (if any), or which tasks should be there.

NOTES:
- remember the golden rule: not as many wishes so as never to reach version 1.0, but not as few as creating a FreeDOS that could let potential users down
- to commit: re-check MIRROR status, leave APPEND and HIMEM/HMAMIM= to post-1.0, some minor misprints, etc.
- last time we discussed about the meaning of ROM= and RAM= in EMM386, still to be evaluated if pre/post? (I'd say that RAM= is trivial to implement, and with latest changes perhaps ROM= is not too hard)



I'd say RAM is a practically useless option. Probably could emulate it within EMM386 parsing just by mapping X= ranges around it, though. Not too much current practical need for ROM or most of the other missing Microsoft-analogous HIMEM and EMM386 options, for that matter. There are other extended options which are more useful.


Most of what's left can wait for a post-1.0 sweep that tightens up MS-command line option compatibility in general. We are putting out the final fires, not putting on lipstick.
