New version of mTCP library and new version of FreeCOM (Announce)

It is beautiful that we have a new year gifts!
I wonder that Michael Brutman haven't introduced here his update himself - because he released a new version of his great mTCP library.
Enjoy and dowload from his site here

Also, a new version of the COMMAND.COM from the FreeDOS is released. Download from the FreeDOS page
It seems that after several years the FreeDOS 1.3 will be really finaly released :-)

I'm here - I've just been very busy. This version includes source code.

You might want to fix that link - it is broken. The correct link is http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/

And just for giggles, I have the PCjr setup to serve the same web pages. You can see it in action at http://50.125.82.27:8088/mtcp/ and view the internal server status page at http://50.125.82.27:8088/proc/Status .

(The PCjr was released in late 1983. This particular machine is running at 4.77Mhz with a NEC V20 CPU, an IDE adapter with a 20GB hard drive, and a Western Digital 8003WT Ethernet adapter. It's been running over 24 hours now.)

Happy New Year!
Mike

Nice to see there is still some progress on FreeCom after more than 10 years :)
I was also surprised of mention about GCC-IA16 compiler for DOS that was used for compiling new FreeCom (along with TC and OW). I currently don't have a need to compile for older machines than 386 but it may come handy:

Yep... those machines may be old, but are not obsolete. :)
