I'll have to take a closer look (again). But OW is already covered, the 14 MB .ZIP (full DOS-only install of everything) is latest 1.9, so it's already up-to-date. FBC.ZIP is 0.90.0 and FPC.ZIP is 2.6.0. Neither of those is totally horribly outdated, but of course newer versions exist. I'm not sure how to perfectly handle it. Of course FBC is much leaner by nature, not having or needing its own installer. FPC really worries me because it has so many (admittedly, optional) files. I think making a package for DJGPP is almost a lost cause because there are so many pieces. And like is already obvious, FBC and (less so) FPC rely on that, hence the complexity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
