Good to hear that. Maybe I should consider to change to current? If you manage to bring doscmd to run under 2.2-STABLE it would be even better. I am working on a XMS implementation currently. I am working on the file xms.c mainly. Objective for now: XMS, size configureable via .doscmdrc, HMA area (DOS can load HIGH) and UMB area management for drivers to load high. I will speak up, when something works. Regards Helmut -- Helmut F. Wirth Email: hfwirth@ping.at
