You don't want to know how long this box takes...<g>

It would seem that among users of this list there are two distinct
definations of "bloat".

I see bloat in terms of my DIR cmd. *Needing* to have five progs for
five purposes is annoying. Web, music, news, file manager, HTML
editor...
I prefer the all in one approach.

All purpose frequently means all compromise...so be it.
FreeDOS is duplicating the functionality of M$'s product with an eye to
replacing it with something better. So should xChaos Software!
