#223 LABEL not printing return+line feed on exit.

[Tom Moss]

The current version of LABEL (1.4b) fails to print a CR+LF on exit, which causes the command prompt to write over the last line of text outputted by the program as it terminates.

e.g.

C:\FDOS\>label
Volume in drive C is TEST
Volume serial number is 2023-OBE5
Volume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)?
C:\FDOS>urrent volume label (Y/N)? y

The fix is to append myprintf("\r\n",0); to the beginning of void on_exit(), as follows.

void on_exit()
{

    myprintf("\r\n",0);
    if (curdir[0] != 0)            /* Originally at root? */
        SetCurDir(curdir);        /* Change to original dir. */

} /* end on_exit. */

Hi Tom, I am having this condition on FreeDOS 13 RC4 as well. I am running on physical hardware. The command does successfully update the label, it just leaves the cursor in the middle of text instead of a clear prompt for me. Thank you for the fix!

I justed version 1.5, published on 2021-11-20 and could no longer reproduce this behaviour.
So I think this thread can be closed.
