[Freedos-kernel] exeflat (2035a) start segment must be variable

2004-08-07 Thread Luchezar Georgiev
exeflat.c of build 2035a (not 2035) has a problem. The start segment is an argument so it's a variable and its value - 2 must be loaded into DI instead of the constant 0x5E. Here's a fix: --- cvs\kernel\utils\exeflat.c 2004-07-09 04:16:30.0 +0200 +++ src\kernel\utils\exeflat.c

Hallo Bart, This is against exeflat.c of 2035a-UNSTABLE. Neither 2035a (i.e. CVS HEAD) nor 2035 have this problem. I didn't know that there are TWO kernel builds called 2035a... Perhaps you should call yours 2035b where b = Bart (a = Arkady ;-) Regards, Lucho

So, as a prospective user of the kernel, after contributing to it for more than an year, I can conclude than it's good enough for simpler tasks not involving writing a lot of long named files on a FAT32 partition. For more complex tasks, however, MS-DOS 7.1, PC-DOS 7.1 and ROM-DOS 7.1 are more
