In particular in case of command.com, some people here have spend some significant time to make it as compatible and bug free as possible. now you come and advertise something with * BUGS, PECULIARITIES, AND/OR UNIMPLEMENTED FEATURES * - Some commands are incomplete: TIME, DATE * - Some built-in commands should really be separate executables * and not built-in. They are: CHOICE, MORE, PAUSE, XCOPY. * - Some commands are not even recognized but should be. * They are: FOR, SHIFT no FOR,SHIFT: that's close to insulting. whatever your plans with this GPL3 software: there will not be a place in freedos. PLEASE.GO.AWAY.
