 I tried new version and can report progress.

All 3 executables work. I can change language to English or other. I can access all the menues without a crash. Info works, system info works, everything seemed fine. However, the "limbo" behavior still applies if I try to change the font. That menu comes up with selection of fonts in blue color, I select one and Blocek becomes unresponsive.

Also when I try to "open" a file, the program either crashes (hard freeze with green info (text) superimposed over the VESA 800x600 screen, impossible to read or perform screen capture), or just goes into limbo / netherworld. This happens with all three executables, except the debug one prints the small green text over the VBE 800x600 screen, and so does the alternate exec. which is 681kb in size. The regular .exe which is 669kb just goes into limbo when I try to open a file or change the font.

If I try the QR-reader, it lets me type in the text, but then Blocek becomes unresponsive when I press OK button to generate QR-code.

I tried on 2 laptops so far, with same results, I'll try on as many additional bare-metal DOS systems as I can find to test, and report back with their DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT as the same as mine in these two laptops I've tested so far.
