	There is already a new version of Necromancer's Dos Navigator (v3.00.0007). Now there are 3 new versions: KolibriOS, OS/2 and HaikuOS. The latter is a test version. To download you can visit the website http://www.ndn.muxe.com/download/ or my google disk

Hello CandyMan,

I guess the "DPMI64" stuff is mildly interesting — as before — but unfortunately it does not really play well with many DOS VMs, including DOSBox. (It does works OK under qemu-system-x86_64 + 16-bit real mode + FreeDOS.) I suppose it will have to remain a sort of historical curiosity...

Thank you!

for me it's very limiting the inability to run under V86 mode as I boot with JEMM as a default. Even I don't see any advantage of running 64b over 32b version - one might be editing a ultra large files but I have limit by FAT16/32 4GB so cannot have large files anyway...
I think there's more potential to use multicores e.g. for background copying or comparing large files/dirs. But I'd much more appreciate NDN to have a serial terminal from old good DN...

Hi, I have some problem with built-in calculator that I often use. There's some accuracy/not-well-rounding problem, that causes e.g. expression:
6,6/2=3,29999999999999999996
instead of 3,3 that is not well looking.
I think that in some older versions it was well rounded.

@ RayeR

caused by FreePascal Str() bug

Post reply

I got reply from CandyMan:

The bug is in the FPC compiler, in the Str() procedure, not in the NDN itself, and should be reported there.
Temporarily fixed (I used code for the Str() function from the Virtual Pascal compiler in the calculator).
You can download the new version of NDN from

http://www.ndn.muxe.com/download/

(see nightly build versions).
