- sys_time() fixed and tested; uses unique JDN algorithm 
- Keyboard now uses scancode set 1 always 
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot 
- Fixed bug in I/O permission bitmap 
- Code segment limit changed with each task switch, to prevent execute of data segment 
- Kernel memory (code and data) that is used only during kernel initialization is freed after use. 
- COFFLOAD.ASM now tries to turn on the A20 gate using 2 methods 

If you tried to run an older version of Cosmos and got the message
"Could not enable A20 gate", please try this new version.



Have fun!
