My changes to MS-DOS perl are current to patch level 37. As perl Lwall's instructions I'm waiting for patch 38 before sending him this stuff. Most of my work is in the msdos subdirectory, but I have had to change some of the main code as well. I've tested my patched up version on SCO Xenix 386 and NCR Tower V.2 and V.3 Unix and they work fine; I'd be very surprised if BSD systems had problems. It occurs to me, though, that the the OS/2 version may be more closely coupled to DOS than these. In particular, some of my #if's could cause problems there. I don't have OS/2 and so am in no position to evaluate this; I hope there's no problem. I gather the Larry cannot evaluate DOS or OS/2. I see the name Raymond Chen and Kai Uwe Rommel in the os2 code. If either of you (or someone else) is interested, I could send you my p.l. 37 changes. I hope my changes won't break the OS/2 version, but it would be preferable to find this out prior to a general release. -- Len Reed Holos Software, Inc.
