/* Alpha version */ version update
All suggestions and ideas are welcome, please use the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/futureos Yahoo! Groups list of FutureOS].
Download Alpha7 from: [http://cpc.yarek.com/amsdos2.zip http://cpc.yarek.com/amsdos2.zip] and please (version for SymbiFace IDE, plase contact to get other, e.g. CPCISA). Please backup all your harddisk data before use, as this version can include dangerous bugs. BTW it creates data structures with minor errors, so you would need to delete them later anyway.<br>
