Hallo Herr Jim Hall,

I'd leave the sources in zip archives, though one last thought: how exactly would make your proposed changes FreeDOS worth a change in naming to 2.0 ? I personally would expect more change then removing APPEND even if APPEND has its roots in CP/M and MSDOS 1.0 Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
