Huh?!? Please RTFM before you make such claims. TDSK was never released under the GPL and I'm not holding back anything here. TDSK is released under Ciriaco Garc�a de Celis' own Freeware license. I once said, that I do think (and still do) that Ciriaco wouldn't have anything against releasing it under the GPL, but that's up to the original author, him, not me. Since my enhanced issue of TDSK is work in progress, he hasn't been asked yet, as I don't care much under which Freeware license it will be eventually. I will do this when my issue of TDSK is ready for release. Like you, Tom, I am working at my own pace when I do unpaid work for the community. If my focus in regard to FreeDOS is more on comprehensive research and documentation (which, for example, was absolutely necessary to make TDSK compatible with Windows 9x) than rushing out quick fixes, then this is my own decision. If you are not happy with it, the official TDSK 2.30 sources are out there. I already explained this a couple of months ago: My binary 2.4x issues were just beta versions for testage, not offical releases, as the documentation clearly states. The reason why I do not release the new, significantly changed version of TDSK *now* is simply that, if I do, future versions will have to stay compatible with this version, and I know that more changes are ahead which will break compatibility with this interim version, so I'm keeping it private until these changes have materialized. I wished this would be sooner, but given my lack of time due to other duties it will probably be later. If I were after quick results I could work around them, but without actual demand, I don't want to introduce yet another case decision.
