Hi!
I am the webmaster of Club Dr-DOS. There is no realy problem, but I want to
be sure that my site is legal.
I hope I can upload the site next week again.
Lineo don't want to change the licence of Dr-DOS now, I want only to ask
them about:
OpenDOS 7.02 documentation
DRFAT32 files
LFN files
BTW: You can download the files, a URL is included.
Bye, Florian
