FreeDOS is aangekomen bij versie 2.0.27. Deze software wordt als volgt beschreven:
FreeDOS is ideal for anyone who wants to bundle a version of DOS without having to pay a royalty for use of DOS. FreeDOS will also work on old hardware, in DOS emulators, and in embedded systems. FreeDOS is also an invaluable resource for people who would like to develop their own operating system. While there are many free operating systems out there, no other free DOS-compatible operating system exists.[break] Het changelog meldt ons de volgende veranderingen:[/break]Changes Tom:Changes Bart:
- memset ErrorAlreadyPrinted to 0 in config.c
[break]FreeDOS is in de volgende drie vormen te downloaden:
- reset drive before and after int26 in SYS for winnt compatibility
- propagate sharing bits correctly in DosOpen
- return DE_NFILES if a volume label is not found; search for volume label if attr & 8 not just if attr==8
- initialize the critical error code to 0 in inthndlr.c
- ignore value of DH for extended open int21/ah=6c
- fix problem with NULL device code being in the wrong segment
- Hopefully innocent hack to deal with NDN in ioctl.c (ignore upper bits of the drive number)
- use subst bit 15 for int21/ax=4409(IOCTL-CHECK IF BLOCK DEVICE REMOTE).
