Hi,
I'm having a problem with recent Subversion revisions of Dosemu, I
get a message from HIMEM.SYS which states: ERROR: HIMEM.SYS has detected unreliable XMS memory at address 00110000h. XMS Driver not installed.I don't use HIMEM.SYS. It is not needed, as the default dosemu.conf provides both XMS- and EMS-memory.
But as far as I'm aware, I need to use HIMEM.SYS to be able to run Windows. Also this used to work fine before. I'll see if I can find out in which revision it regressed.
PS: It seems I'm missing a lot of e-mail from the mailing list. I didn't get this e-mail either. I wonder whether the list is operating correctly.

I just did some regression testing.
The first regression (the HIMEM.SYS error message):
last revision without: 1928
first revision with: 1929
The second regression (Dosemu crashing when double clicking on the top left menu button in Program Manager):
last revision without: 1962
first revision with: 1963
Note, to test for the last regression I had to add /TESTMEM:OFF to get HIMEM.SYS to load.

Julius
