After a bug in HX's Win32 emulation code has been fixed (see here), I updated the FTE DOS binaries created with OW 2.0 and MSVC 7.1. The FTE Shell/Run commands should now work ok for MS-DOS versions < 7 ( I haven't tested FreeDOS yet ).

P.S.: Also tried other OW 2.0 DOS32 variants of FTE:

- DOS4G/W: unstable
- PModeW: unstable
- CauseWay: stable

P.P.S.: And finally tried the DJGPP makefile supplied with FTE: got a few warnings and the result is unstable if the program runs as VCPI client and CWSDPMI is used as DPMI host (the default).

The test was
a) to load a 108 MB text file with 1.5 mio lines
b) run FTE's Shell/Run cmds
