Re: UMB and 386/486 --> status of FreeDOS emm386 etc.

Hi all,

It is very sad to see that there are quite a few programs to 
manage memory for FreeDOS (I don't even know how many
because the names are so similar that I got confused) and
it look like there is a competition between them, but none
is complete. In fact the only one I see is alive and kicking
is FDXMS that has an active mantainer and that gets bugs
fixed. Couldn't we all join our hands and get ONE oficial
and complete memory manager?
