Doing several times per year.

NO, see below.

... TEMP is also evil

Please download my image, it securely fails both on my real PC and inside BOCHS: http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploads/temp/q.zip

1.

boot up
CD B
BIEW \WDE.COM
-> crash + 2 DJ files

2.

boot up
CD B
SET TEMP=
BIEW \WDE.COM
-> no crash anymore but still 2 DJ files + silly activity, see shot

3. * Workaround for output of external assembler.

Done, but seems not to work. RTFS: var is being set to true on 2 places, but nowhere to false ???

tBool iniUseExtProgs = True;
 biewReadProfileString(ini,"Biew","Setup","UseExternalProgs","yes",tmp,sizeof(tmp));
  if(stricmp(tmp,"yes") == 0) iniUseExtProgs = True;

4. Move the BIEW files from "B" to main with FreeDOS MOVE ... oops, doesn't work

5. Move the BIEW files from "B" to main with something else and start it from main -> failure, "fi_syser.$$$"

6. [minor] RTFS: "fi_syserr.$$$" is mentioned 2 times, one with 2 r's and one with only 1 r

0. Welcome

1. Could you help confirming the bugs please ?

2. Congrats to recent INSIGHT update (I might have to RTFM before I can thoroughly test or really use it ....) and FDRC
