According to Rob's latest blog post, he is making great progress on the DOS packet bounty. Here is a small quote from the post.

"For the uninitiated, this is the debug output from FATFileSystem as it mounts a ten-megabyte image created under Linux with mkfs.vfat and made available to AROS via fdsk.device. It seems to be correctly reading the image, which means my replacement block code is correct, and the handler is happy doing its own thing."

This is really good to see and I know a lot of people will be thrilled to see this. Keep hacking away Rob!

In other news, the latest Status Update has been posted on AROS.org. It is brief and mentions the drag'n'drop issues in AROS.

"Just a little status update to announce that initial drag'n'drop issues in AROS native have been fixed. Wanderer is now almost fully functional and doesn't crash anymore when copying files from a window to another. A progress window, to keep track of operations, has been added too.

All of the new features are already available in latest nightly builds (but not in current snapshot), so we suggest everyone interested in trying AROS to download last night's build."

I heard news that Mithrandir is still coding away at AROSAmp too. He is working on making it fully skinnable. I hear it is looking amazing. More news coming about that as soon as I know more.
