Thanks DOS386(R) for testing .
Does the new ver work OK on your tests ?.

Note: only the dos file functions are done by DOS, the others are pm ver's of the dos functions,
and i have already done pm drivers for floppy, hdd etc, i will just convert the interface to be the same as the Dos file function, then you will be able run without booting from dos.
