Hi Bart,

I only did minimal testing on an emulated XT-class PC
(<http://www.hampa.ch/pub/pce/pre/pce-20201020-85c21aca/machines/pce-20201020-85c21aca-turbo-xt-msdos-3.30a.zip>)
by creating a bootable floppy.

My feedback:
1) In contrast to RC3
FD13LIVE.ISO\PACKAGES\BASE\COMMAND.ZIP\BIN\COMMAND.COM all new builds
run on this 8086/88 CPU. -- Nice!
2) Memory consumption according to MEM/C:
   COMMANDW.COM 69,648 Upper
   COMMANDG.COM 70,768 Upper
   COMMANDT.COM 75,856 Upper
   So Open Watcom is still the best. Turbo C++ the worst.
3) I consider it a bug, that after running a command, there's no
new-line before the prompt.
   ###
   A:\>bogus
   Bad command or filename - "bogus".
   A:\>_
   ###

   MS-DOS behavior differs.
   ###
   A:\>bogus
   Bad command or filename - "bogus".

   A:\>_
   ###
   Yes, I know, this "feature" is already present for many years, but I
still call it bug.

Cheers,
Robert
