Other Thoughts ... (Miscellaneous)

posted by sol, 07.11.2007, 03:53

I often wonder, reading your posts, whether you get as mental in person. It also makes me curious whether or not you're some sort of hermit, as you'd have to be :)

You've (once again) failed to grasp the point. I pulled the bugs up quickly out of the changelog - the point wasn't whether or not they applied to your drivers.

To make it very clear, the point was simply that after all this time, there are DOS bugs being fixed, and that UPX adds a layer of uncertainty. A layer of potential instability.

This might not even be in UPX, it might be in a particular DOS flavor -- a particular amount of memory free. Perhaps a weird circumstance - what if it's loaded into 6k of remaining upper memory and needs to decompress into 7k? Yes, this will probably work fine, don't go off on another tangent, again - it's not the point.

(Perhaps the "bugs fixed" category applies to your drivers, who knows, btw.)
