Has loadhi disappeared by accident or design in the latest dosemu rpm?
I can find it in dosemu-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm, but it's missing in
1.4.0-1.i386.rpm.
And if it's by design, is there a list of other dos commands that have
been
removed or replaced for whatever reason?
loadhi isn't necessary anymore because the same functionality is
provided by command.com's internal lh (or loadhigh) command.
shsucdx is also gone (replaced by the "c" option of lredir).
I thought the idea behind DOSEMU and FREEDOS was to provide
an open source and free environment which faithfully emulated
the MSDOS environment. Removing commands because they are
redundant will break existing systems, causing them to
fail. In this particular case, it is difficult to think of
a case where that would happen, since a batch file could
most likely be edited, and I don't know why a program would
use LOADHI, but it still seems to me to be a departure from
the original goal.
