Hi, to bring up several issues in one mail:
Stamp: I tried stamp /t c:\test.txt but the timestamp of test.txt did not
get changed. Same for touch: It got set to a value on file creation by
touch, but not changed. May be a kernel 1.1.24 problem, though. Sorry that
I did not test with 1.1.27 yet, but if somebody could do so, would be nice!

Other: Nice to know that DOG no longer has the bug. What/where (download) is
the current version?

New bug: I tried to use "AuGoS" for DOS (a freeware Go playing program by an
acquaintance of mine, written in Pascal and using DPMI16BI.OVL. Needs to be
run from a writeable directory as it creates temp files there).
I noticed that it crashes if TEMP or TMP are set to point to a nonexisting
directory (hangs).
BUT it also crashes when they point to a directory inside a TDSK ramdisk
(reboots). I use this TDSK command line:
DEVICEHIGH?=C:\freedos\bin\tdsk.exe 15000 512 144 1

(TDSK version 2.3, Turbodsk)

LCD also exits (without error message) when trying to LCD with the cursor
keys to the ramdisk.

Anybody else got that bug? Is there a new version or other ramdisk (bitdisk?)
that fixes it?

PS: Did anybody (not the authors, I know that they have other things to do)
try to run fdxms/fdxxms/fdxmst/fdxxmst/fdxms286 with FreeDOS emm386 ? In
theory, fdxms286 and the 0.9 versions of the others should work, but it seems
that they still do not!?

PPS: No news about kernel 2027rc from me yet - DESCENT still only runs with
the DPMI of DR-DOS emm386, even though maketempfile has been fixed. DR-DOS
emm386 itself runs easier, of course, due to the driver memory allocation fix.
No new bugs in 2027rc that I would have noticed by now.
