;-) Wouldn t be so bad, though? As far as I know, COMP errorlevels are
not documented at all, so noone can rely on them. However, COD tries
to stay as compatible as possible to MS-DOS, so I assume, these obviously
not very useful errorlevels are a duplication of what MS-DOS does (if not,
please tell me, since personally I have not tested MS-DOS COMP in this
respect).

Exactly. ;-)
Discussing COMP, I just thought it might be interesting to some listeners
when giving some (more or less related) background info (in this case the errorlevel). That s why I m sometimes a little bit off topic...
[In general]
BTW, another totally off-topic issue to all listeners:
I would very much appreciate not to receive most of the mails doubled
because of the mentioning of my mail-address in the CC: fields. If you write/reply
to the mailing list, you don t need to include me in the CC: or other internal
distribution list. If you write to me *privately*, that s ok, but then please don t CC:
to the list. I assume all mails also been send to the lists as open, not private
(and if replying it causes quite alot of unnecessary effort trying to remove me
from all the mail headers, so that I don t reply to myself). And - if you want to
report problems with OpenDOS to Caldera, why not using Caldera s offical
address for this purpose:
<dosbeta AT calderauk DOT com>
with as much information you can give to reproduce the problem. Thanks.
