"Targets" (Announce)

posted by Jack R. Ellis E-mail, 29.09.2007, 09:55

Our late comedian Rodney Dangerfield told a very funny joke: "My son kept
asking me for a bow-and-arrow for Christmas. 'Get me a bow-and-arrow for
Christmas!', and when I did, he got me a shirt with a bulls-eye on it"!

You too need such a shirt, you FOOL!! It was not Lucho who was BANNED by
Udo Kuhnt from the EDR-DOS forum. Udo banned YOUR "sorry ass", you FOOL,
because of all the BULLSH*T you tried to pull on Udo himself!! Lucho had
NOTHING to do with getting you banned --- You "blew your OWN case" on that
forum, all by your "sorry" SELF, you FOOL!!

As for Lucho "ruining the reputation of FreeDOS", their "sorry ass" system
ruined its OWN reputation, all by itself! ANYONE who doubts this can run
their OWN file copy/compare tests using FreeDOS, then again with ANY other
DOS kernel now in use! No need to take my word, or Lucho's word -- Those
with more than "half-a-brain" can TEST THE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES, so they can
SEE for themselves that FreeDOS really DOES rank "Dead LAST" in speed!!

And how FOOLISH it also is, that FreeDOS "eats" ALL available HMA space as
its disk caching buffers, leaving NOTHING for UDMA's binary-search tables,
XMS managers like MS-DOS or PTS-DOS HIMEM, and other more USEFUL programs!
Anyone who wonders about THIS "issue" is welcome to try Lucho's "LZ" V7.10
MS-DOS with "BUFFERS=1" to "BUFFERS=5" in the CONFIG.SYS file. They will
note some speed loss (about 25%) with "BUFFERS=1", a tiny speed loss (10%)
with "BUFFERS=2" and NO loss with "BUFFERS=3". To be certain, I use "4".

So Why-in-HELL does FreeDOS need to allocate 20 buffers and up?? Do they
REALLY believe that so many buffers "help"?? Especially if a CACHE is in
use, like my UDMA or even their LBACache?? Is LBACache really THAT bad??
I do not use it (obviously!), but I cannot believe even IT needs all those
buffers! Ah, but we'll never be sure, since FreeDOS has NO WAY for users
to allocate other than ALL of the HMA for buffers! I've even tried their
negative "BUFFERS = -nn" command, and it DOESN'T WORK either!

You should be more CAREFUL about disputing valid research or tests done by
others. Users who desire FACTS can test FreeDOS v.s. other systems, same
as they can make OTHER tests I have suggested on this board, and then they
will know the facts about YOU as well, you FOOL!! Then, I may not have a
need to send you a "bulls-eye" shirt -- Others may do it ANYWAY!!
