Bah. I couldn't download the stupid thing anyhow, because apparently, ya gotta login just to read the blog post. Thanks, but no thanks. I do not now, nor do I wish to have an ms account. I'll pass, thanks. (same for google) If I can't hit the page, click download, and have the file show up on my drive, I'm not the least bit interested in downloading it. And, anyway, dos 2.0 did things way differently than 3.3+ , especially for file access, (fcbs anyone) so any use anyone would get out of 2.0 source would be less than minimal anyhow. It's probably closer to cpm than real dos anyhow. Not that there's anfything wrong with cpm, loads of products based on cpm, and I have source of that too, though I've never used them. I just like having things, even if I never use them, I guess I'm labeled as a collector, but having never contributed to freedos, I have nothing to fear from looking at such code. I'm really not an os kind of person. They fascinate me, and I love seeing how they do things, but I just don't have the know how to actually code for one, my assembly skills just aren't up to the task. Utilities are different, anyone can write those, and I have written some (none I've givven to freedos though) though I still have hopes of getting freedos to include a screen reader, but work is slow on porting from a86 to something freedos users can use free of charge, so it will likely be a while before I have anything ready for distribution. But I do like to see how things are done, and that's why I'm on this list, all kinds of internals are very interesting to me, even though I don't (usually) understand everything about them.
