Hi!
______________O\_/_________________________________\_/O______________
OpenDOS 7.02b2
Bugs
1. XCOPY.EXE don't copy attributes of directories (i.e. R/O, Hidden and
System). This is fatal, for example, for \WIN95\FONTS\ directory, which
_must_ have System attribute
2. When XCOPY.EXE with /h option tries to replace file with Hidden and
System attributes without R/O, then (at least, under MS-DOS 6.22 with
NDOS) XCOPY.EXE with message "...access denied" aborts:
@echo off
md c:\temp
md c:\temp\a
md c:\temp\b
echo 123>c:\temp\a\1
echo 12>c:\temp\a\2
echo 1>c:\temp\b\1
attrib +h +s c:\temp\b\1
c:\util\xcopy/e /h /r /s c:\temp\a c:\temp\b
3. ATTRIB.EXE can't set attributes for directories (I tries reset lost
after XCOPY.EXE attributes); 4DOS/NDOS's ATTRIB command allow this
through /d switch
4. When NWCDEX.EXE runs with same options as MSCDEX.EXE (/d:... /m:32)
they eat much lesser memory with /e switch and no DPMS installed (0.9K
conventional for NWCDEX itself + 0.3K for environment against 15K in
UMB for MSCDEX - this is not bad), but much more without /e switch and
no DPMS (80K + 0.3K for environment against 43K for MSCDEX)
5. NWCDEX.EXE not allow to see AudioCDs at least for some players (for
example, for Acer CD Pro for DOS)
6. COMP.EXE can't work in batches: they not return errorlevels and ask
when files differs by size
Whishes
1. Universal ATAPI CD driver (with small footprint!)
2. Mouse driver compatible with MS Mouse 8.2 (with small footprint!)
