Hi Japheth

I didn't have you or anyone in particular in mind, but thanks for standing up.
First be it stated, I never requested or hoped everyone would interrupt their current activities on this test. Still :

A misconception. The program was deliberately conceived to work around the MS DOS bug and *not* depend on wrapper.sys, or any third party. I thought I made this point clear. You don't need to buy or even try wrapper.sys [albeit a free trial, as I said, and recommended] in order to do the simple checks I begged from the audience.

Understandable, but it is just bringing water to my mill as we say in French.
This forum may not have been quite the friendly place for sharing DOS knowledge I had imagined. Never mind, you (I mean, you all, the lurkers) are still welcome to comment on the program and I'll release it soon to a more public channel. Not that I expect millions of users, considering how it's received here :=)

Thanks again for explaining your reasons
