Hi Lucho!
Could you see about getting permission to release the source code for this CHKDSK? It isn't much use to the FreeDOS community if we don't have access to the source code to make modifications, improvements, etc. Even if the code is commented in Bulgarian, I'm sure the code will be readable by someone who would like to make improvements.
You say that the grad students can't support this version of CHKDSK - the best way to continue improving the program is therefore to open up the code.
Thanks. -jh

Hello from Bulgaria, and big thanks to Alain for providing me with an e-mail address for FreeDOS!
I'm back just to announce the availability of a freeware FAT32-enabled CHKDSK written by some of our most gifted graduate students. It's at http://linux.tu-varna.acad.bg/~lig/freedos/CHKDSK.ZIP
I has simple all-permitting MIT-style freeware license. Like ROMDSK, the source code is commented in Bulgarian and will hardly be ever translated to English. Unlike ROMDSK, I don't have permission to make it available. And before you ask, graduate students can't support their work, nor can I or anyone else, so your bug reports and wishes will most likely go to NUL - sorry but I can't help...
Anyway, as the Italians say, "A caval donato non si guarda in bocca" ("Never look a gift horse in the mouth"), and also "O la va, o la spacca" (both proverbs exist in Bulgarian too). So, don't complain, but spread and enjoy instead!
Regards, Lucho
