ISOLINUX

so you can yourself further analyzed it.

There is a bootable/isolinux-6.04 image:

--- a/com32/menu/readconfig.c
+++ b/com32/menu/readconfig.c

     char c;
 
     while ((c = *src++)) {
-	if (c <= ' ' || c == '\x7f') {
+	if (c <= ' ' && c == '\x7f') {

And that's it. ;)

I thank you for your participation.
