Note that that is a version of COMMAND.COM that minimizes memory
footprint by temporary saving its state in XMS memory while running
other programs. I suspect it's meant to be copied to COMMAND.COM if
you know you're on a system with XMS.

It's possible that this is only a temporary name. Next month we might
have COMMXMS.COM or COMMANDX.COM or something else.

If FreeDOS really has decided that this is how COMMAND.COM should be
named (which I strongly doubt), then a patch might be good.


Right,
