Good question. I don’t know the answer. The readme refers to settings in WINDOWS.NT config file. I did some quick tests under VirtualBOX. Other VMs or real hardware may yield different results... A couple quick attempts to load it at boot, result in getting stuck in an invalid OPCODE loop. Using DEVLOAD after boot, prints invalid OPCODE and returns to prompt. So, there is a good chance it is Win32+ only. So, at best it should probably be moved to an extra or web only. > And while we have several MP3 related packages, > I miss an oggenc package in the survey ;-) Well, if a program has a package compatible with the current default package manager (FDNPKG) and is in the Online Repository, it is on the Survey. Otherwise, no one has prepared a compatible package for it. There is a lot of “license compatible” stuff that is mirrored on ibiblio that no-one has make into “compatible package”. Occasionally, I’ll do one. But much of that mirrored software is in source form and as you know, it is rarely as simple as downloading and running “build” or “make”. If someone could take the time to process all of those mirrored programs at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/ <http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/>, It would be awesome. I’d love to make more “license compatible” stuff available in both the Official Online Repo and my personal online repo. The Official Repo is more or less limited to open source compatibly licensed software that includes it’s sources. The rules for my personal repo on https://fd.lod.bz <https://fd.lod.bz/> are less strict. To summarize… Basically... Commercial, free or open-source, I don’t care. As long as there isn’t any doubt I can legally host the file, I will. You won’t find old abandoned commercial programs like WORD, LOTUS, TURBO PASCAL and the like. But, you may find ones the are closed-source public domain programs. > Cheers, Eric :-) Jerome
