     Unfortunately, MS defines it as "all yes" and there is no "all no". =

     Keys during config.sys processing doesn't affect FreeCOM. FreeCOM ma=

only receive options to "Skip all" and "Trace", not more.

     Currently, Enter equal to Y. This is why I change "Y/N" to "Y/n".

     And now it, as Esc, answers Y for current question and answers Y for
all other questions.

     Yes, it is.

     ? I make fixes and additions. Size reducing is only bonus.

     Of course, I try to test my changes as far extensive, as I may.

     With Lucho we adapt changes for MSC (I not have it to do this myself=
; I
compile only by TC, BC and OW). Weird combinations of cross-incompatible
compilers... B-O
