Sure, but sharing the results makes it feel less lonely. I've made too many solitary patches in the past years many of which are nowadays useless.

Just as expected Thx!

No obligation. But if you wish to try Wrapper, by itself or (under MSDOS 7) with HK31, you would typically want to test it with mouse or keyboard drivers (of the com/exe variety, not DOS device drivers). In fact it could be especially interesting for /you/ to see if Wrapper.sys works on the FreeDOS - considering FreeDOS did not even exist when wrapper was last updated (or did it ? I haven't checked the historic records)
