In FIDO.XPOINT on 27.10.03 (received 27.10.03)
Archie Swan  uttered on the subject "new beta Version OpenXP (3.8.13)":

AS> Picked up and tried.  The archivers' paths appear to have been
AS> fixed OK. :)

:-)

AS> The screen garbage problem is still evident :(

As expected... Markus could not reproduce it, so he couldn't fix  
anything. But he does not have DR-DOS for testing.

AS> Plus that "ghost" B: drive still remains.

And it will remain, as there seems to be no (easy/known) way for a DOS  
program to detect whether that drive is actually existing or not. DOS  
always reserves that drive letter, regardless whether there is a drive  
attached or not.

CB>>   564631 Oct 26 19:41 openxp-3.9.8-33.dos.rar

CB>> Hmm, the 3.9 seems to be a bit small?

AS> The main contents of that are just the updated .HLP and .RES
AS> files.

Sounds strange, there should be a binary in there as well; otherwiese  
the whole thing is pointless.
