Technical and Compatibility Enhancements


What's New - Technical and Compatibility Enhancements 
        »  Removed the 16-bit version of CMD.EXE. 
        »  Replaced the old CMD.EXEDLL.DLL / TCOS2DLL.DLL with a single 
           file for both CMD.EXE and TCOS2, named JPOS2DLL.DLL.  Also, 
           JPOS2DLL is now loaded dynamically, so you can start the 
           product without it if necessary (e.g. from a floppy boot). 
        »  Worked around an OS/2 problem that prevented %_CPU from 
           detecting anything higher than a 486. 
        »  Updated CMD.EXE to remove explicit references to the 
           Presentation Manager DLLs (this should make it easier to use 
           CMD.EXE from a floppy disk boot). 
        »  TYPE NUL now "works" (i.e. it generates no output), for 
           compatibility with batch files which use TYPE NUL > file to 
           generate a 0-byte file. 
        »  Added debugging options which allow you to view the command 
           "tail" passed to CMD.EXE, and to "tag" error messages with the 
           product name.  See the Debug directive in CMD.INI for 
           additional details. 
 
 3.01  »   Worked around an OS/2 API problem that was causing some batch 
           files (particularly those with loops and lots of internal 
           commands) to run very slowly. 
 3.02  »   @UNIQUE:  Worked around an OS/2 bug that caused trouble if 
           @UNIQUE was called repeatedly on a fast machine.
