Known issue. switch to FreeDOS directory:
C:\FDOS\NLS\CMD_BIN

Now run "MAKECMD 186 xms f EN"
This will create a command.com for 186+ processors instead of 8086+ processors,
and LH works properly.

Due to compile reasons LH had to be disabled.

Note that LH might actually crash the system, we've experienced some problems
with it in the CVS version.

www.fdos.org/kernel has newer versions.

Changing the subject from
Beta9SR2 LH/LOADHIGH wrong behavior(FREECOM1115)
to
beta9sr2 ships freecom without loadhigh
which describes the unnecessary pain better. Why
would the 3 remaining 8086 owners on earth care
that the CDROM version of FreeDOS has a FreeCOM
which requires a 286 or better CPU? Please do make
the 286+ FreeCOM WITH LOADHIGH the default again.
