Doubt it, esp. since all DN clones use some form of Pascal (due to
original's sources). The original DN151 and perhaps old DNOSP 6.4.0
were both real mode (16-bit), but neither is able to be compiled (last
I checked!) with FPC or similar (GPC?) open toolset. NDN (closed) and
DN/2 (open) both used VP (closed). Honestly, I don't even remember
whether DN151 is truly "free/libre". Oh well.

Long story short: Doszip is pretty perfect unless you need 8086 support.

(Anyways, a decent file manager isn't "essential" by any means, and
surely there are dozens of other file managers, I'm probably
forgetting a few. Maybe they're open source, who knows, I can't
remember them all ! You can check the mirrors of Short.Stop pages,
perhaps, to find a good one.)
