It’s fairly painless to expedite an update or sometimes add completely new 
software. We 
often have a lot of stuff on our plate and it is far better then waiting for us 
to “get around” to 
doing it. 

If you are not completely familiar with the layout of the package files, simply 
download the existing package zip from
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/pkg-html/frotz.html
 
<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/pkg-html/frotz.html>

extract the zip
update the appropriate binary, source and any other files.
modify the APPINFO\*.LSM text file to reflect the updated/new package.
zip it back up 

Send me a link to download or just email me the updated package.

I can quickly review it and stick it up on the official software repository. 

The FreeDOS release building process will automatically include the new package 
next time a release is built.
