Jos has released the new vDos 2016.06.01 today, and I also
released vDos-lfn 2016.06.01 today accordingly.
Wengier, thank you. My very brief testing so far shows the following:
- Speed seems noticeably faster. Nice.
- Clipboard functionality appears to be broken. With LPT4=CLIP, saving
a file to LPT4 does not save it to the clipboard. Pasting with Winkey-
Ctrl-V also doesn't work: nothing happens.
- The new WAIT option for starting Windows programs doesn't seem to
work. For example, DOS /C METAPAD.EXE starts the Metapad text editor,
but DOS /C WAIT METAPAD.EXE does nothing. DOS /C HIDE METAPAD.EXE does
start Metapad in the background, as expected.
- I'm not sure what the new "CMD" command adds. In the previous version
of vDos-lfn, commanding CMD at the DOS prompt opens a CMD.EXE window in
Windows. There is no change in this behavior in the version, although
the CMD.EXE window does appear to open faster.
I realize that some or all of these comments might be better addressed
to Jos.
Thanks again for all your work.
