(split it since this forum has a 10'000 Byte's per post limit ???)

OK, we see the well known DGJPP garbage IO activity.

Anyone has access to DGJPP BUGzilla or maintainers so this can get finally reported or is this maybe already Closed: INVALID ???

There is DGJPP garbage I/O but maybe also a FreeDOS BUG. On FreeDOS it hangs (see shot) leaving an empty file (ZERO Byte's), on EDR-DOS it brews an empty ZIP (22 Byte's).

I wonder how those who got it "working" actually did. Loaded DOGNTLFN TSR ??? I didn't. Used NTVDM (hint: CWSDPMI is ignored inside NTVDM ) ??? I did't. Used genuine MS-DOG ? I didn't. Got a better PC ??? Yeah ... mine is CRAP

The "worm" (one of many worm's ...) is here:


* AX=$4E00 <e:/ntos13.zip> | C=1 AX=$0012
* AX=$4E12 <e:/ntos13.zip> | C=0 AX=$0000 ; ??? FreeDOS BUG ???


The lower call pretends success, while it should fail (in EDR-DOS it does fail too). FreeDOS getting confused by the $12 in AL ??? (Error code from above !!!).

Anyone knows what the AL in "SFN FIFI" (AH=$4E) should do ???

> AH = 4Eh
> AL = special flag for use by APPEND (refer to note below)



In any case, there is a feature request for UI21DEB: improve "SFN FIFI" and "SFN FINE"
