It was never part of the "spec". This is the first time I see the words "Design" and "spec" in conjunction with MooSe-DOS... I doubt if MooSe-DOS was ever designed. Furthermore I'm not sure if you mean undocumented or documented specs. >>that a lot of people have got rich just by inventing ways of managing this >>better! (eg QEMM drivers). >Msdos does not clame to do ANY memory management. Hmmm, I just wonder why there is all this UMB stuff in MooSe-DOS 5. In fact, MooSe-DOS does not claim to do ANYTHING, like almost any program. So that's not a reason why we can't expect to have '90s power in the '90s. Greetings, Peter Busser
