I forgot to mention my reason for the CD ISO image file.
More and more motherboards do not come with a floppy drive anymore. they only have a CD drive or DVD drive or Blu-ray+dvd drive of some sort.
I am surprised that there has been no release of an ISO version of the files. someone please update the web sites and add ISOs.

- include source code. *please!*
- include a cd .ISO image file. you can make one using mkisofs that comes with cdrtfe (http://sf.net/projects/cdrtfe), make sure you copy the cygwin directory contents into the cdrtools directory so you can use mkisofs.
- include a zip file, Either separately, or include the ISO file inside the zip file.
there are a number of packages out there that can...

Detail:
Please *add* (not replace) source code+config files+executables, etc definitely in zip file and maybe on CVS or SVN for 2.40, 2.43, and 2.44. they probably all need to be fixed. We already have 2.37 here as a download-able file here on htttp://sf.net/projects/ranish/files
And each version contributes unique features that the other doesn't or has quirks that the other doesn't. It...

changed to higher priority 7
I will look at source code when I get a chance and see what I can do.

oops. sorry, this should be a feature request. maybe you can change it for me.
also, I needed to mention that these specs may not come into general use for average PC's for a while yet. I only know of its use on IA64 Itanium servers, and I believe it's EFI 1.10+GPT.

for the future, it would be nice to support EFI+GPT. this is used on IA64 Itanium systems. I do not know about the IA64 architecture's ability to run 32-bit or 16-bit DOS code.
the folks at FreeDOS are talking about support for the ability to boot from EFI. part of the problem is the cost - the priviledge to develop for UEFI2.x+GPT costs $2500/year. but to develop for the older Intel EFI...

It has come to my attention that RPM uses hard-coded 512-byte sectors.
It is not the job of the program to hard-code these (as, unfortunately, one person pointed out).
In fact, the extended int13h function 48h data offset 24(is that decimal?) provides the sector size of the hard disk.
This should be used everywhere necessary (or, best, once at the beginning of the program) to calculate...
