Critical appraisal.

I have had many criticisms of the operation of the program, but over the past year I have fixed just about all of them. There are still changes I would like to make, and probably will in the near future when I have completed enough research to make them possible. I have worked out how to implement support for SETVER.EXE, and am waiting for MS-DOS 6 to arrive so that I can check it's compatibility before another update. I have also worked out how to change the size of the LASTDRIVE array in DOS 4 and higher. This I will incorporate soon as well.
Loading device drivers into UMBs will involve a lot more experimenting and probably examination of SYSINIT, so will probably not happen in the near future. I'll get round to it, though, and by then I'll have come up with something else to add or change. I might end up trying to get it to load devices once Windows is running, and make them available to all programs under Windows. That'd keep me amused for a while.
