Your programs do not include source code, so I can't tell how your
program is checking to see what packages need updating. However, if it
helps you, you may use lsm-export to do some of the work for you. Or
to at least query the Software List on the FreeDOS website. You can
use lsm-export in three ways:


1. Called without parameters, it returns a list of software categories:

http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm-export.cgi

base
boot
devel
edit
gui
net
sound
util


2. You can use cat= to request a list of packages associated with a
specific category:

http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm-export.cgi?cat=base

append
assign
attrib
chkdsk
choice
command
comp
country
cpidos
cutemouse
debug
[...]


3. You can use prog= to request the details (in LSM3 format) of a
specific package:

http://www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm-export.cgi?prog=kernel
