(Our standard was forked from the earlier LSM version 3 format, which is why you see "Begin3" in our LSM files.) LSM provided a handy way to capture the metadata about a package, so you know who wrote it originally, who is the current maintainer, and where to find it. I would use the most recent "Debug" that you based this code on. But since you said "the fork is in some ways far from its FreeDOS Debug 1.13 roots" then you could instead set the "Original-site" field to the same value as "Primary-site". In this case, that's up to you. But to maintain the history, my suggestion would be to set "Original-site" to point to the most recent "Debug" you based this on. Jim
