Hi

I just tested in VMware Server 1.0.7 and it worked just fine. A couple of minor issues:

- inputting 'm' to the mode command will change to mode 0 (i discovered this since I expected the mode command to take an parameter indicating the mode - maybe you could implement this too)
- when you clear the screen the cursor is not moved to the top.
- arrow up and down will display a greek alpha (ascii 0xe0 so you probably needs to handle extended keyboard scan codes too - or just ignore non-printable characters)
- selecting mode 1 somehow makes the prompt be offset around 10-15 characters to the right

Hopes this helps - if you have any questions I'll be happy to help

P.S. I'm not enumerating these minor flaws to put you down - quite the opposite. Keep up the good work.

Okay, thanks, will add to the list of working emulators/systems.

1. Yes, I knew that, was planning on fixing for 0.5.0 (out by the 25th, I hope!)
2. Done on purpose, I think that it's kind of ugly-looking at the very top in 80x50 mode.
3. Yeah, I'm going to fix that for 0.5.0 and add a simple command history by 0.5.1.
4. Hmm, not in VPC. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks for testing!

I am the new king of double-posting.

0.5.0 is out with FAT12 loading code (more MikeOS code) with a load command in the shell, and a programming include file for NASM!

Oh, and other feature: tab key repeats previous command. Quite nifty!

EDIT: To avoid yet another double-post, I'm now editing this so you know to download 0.5.1, NOT 0.5.0. In fact, don't even go looking for 0.5.0. We've included a build script for DOS/Windows in 0.5.1 as well as 10-15 bugfixes.
