I wanted to use the FreeCom COMMAND.COM with tab completion instead of Microsoft's COMMAND.COM with DOSKEY but FreeCom has an irritating PC speaker beep to alert you when there are multiple or no completions available. This is very irritating and there is no option to disable it.

This build is just a straight recompile with the offending beep() and beep_low() lines commented out for both tab completion and when navigating the command history buffer.

Sounds cool.

How much conventional memory is used compared to MickySofts command.com with doskey loaded?

It takes 2,336 byes of conventional memory when the rest is loaded into UMB.

No, it doesn't sound at all. That's the whole point. 😁

What would be very cool would be to make it optional to blink the screen, instead of beeping. Many X11 terminal programs have that as an option.
