For some reason that made 7-Zip freeze. (7-Zip uses XMS, which probably has something to do with it.) I need to narrow down the problem before I declare it an RDISK "bug," but for the time being I'm using RDISK as a device driver and not an executable.

Nice tip. In RDISK-S I removed the DOS version check to work around this, but yours seems like a better solution.

Does this mean you have such a build? I really do need IF (NOT) (ERRORLEVEL / EXIST) and GOTO. I can probably find external commands or workarounds for CLS, COPY, MD, and DEL.

The UPX'd size is nice, but one of the programs I uses will crash on exit if using a UPX'd command.com. It's weird. Anyway, in its current state it's 23K, which makes it competitive as-is.
