That's not a good metric since, as mentioned, FreeDOS doesn't include other things (link, qbasic, dosshell -> wlink, bwbasic, doszip ?), at least not in "BASE". (Besides, apparently MS-DOS 5 is last to have it by default without optional add-ons.) Like I said, I don't really care if it's included, but please not in "BASE". > It's not hurting you is it? You don't suffer from erectile > disfunction because you "dir" and see exe2bin listed there do you? NO! It literally does nothing. I mean, how can you use it with a "BASE"-only install? You can't. You need other (external) tools. Most compilers and assemblers don't need it. All I can think of offhand is MASM, and "we" don't include MASM (obviously) nor even JWasm in "BASE". It's an "old" copy (1.5) from OpenWatcom. At the very least somebody should update it to 1.9, though I personally doubt the functionality has improved at all. (Perhaps somebody should compile it with /d_WATCOM_LFN_ or whatever, at least that would be an improvement, sheesh.) > Jebus Christ, can't you find something better to bitch about?
