Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I did a little cleanup on the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio.
In the /files/dos <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/> directory, I've gone through several of the directories to clean up the organization. Over the history of using the files archive on Ibiblio, I haven't really done a great job at keeping things clean. For example, there was one directory for FreeDOS Choice at /files/dos/choice <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/choice/> and *all* of the releases for FreeDOS Choice lived there, just dumped in one directory listing: choice201.zip > choice20.zip > choice30.zip > choice31.zip > choice33.zip > choice35a.zip > choice35b.zip > choice35.zip > choice36a.zip > choice36b.zip > choice36c.zip > choice36d.zip > choice36e.zip > choice36.zip > choice37.zip > choice38a.zip > choice38b.zip > choice38.zip > choice41.zip > choice42a.zip > choice42b.zip > choice43a.zip > choice43.zip > choice44s.zip > choice44x.zip If you wanted to get the latest version of FreeDOS Choice, what file would you download? Would you grab the first one on the list (choice201.zip) or the last file in the list (choice44x.zip)? If you know the history of FreeDOS Choice, you would know that choice201.zip is version 2.01, and choice44x.zip is version 4.4. Now I'm going through and creating subdirectories for the different projects there, sorted out by release version. So that long list of files in /files/dos/choice is now split out into subdirectories: 2.0/ > 3.0/ > 3.1/ > 3.3/ > 3.5/ > 3.6/ > 3.7/ > 3.8/ > 4.1/ > 4.2/ > 4.3/ > 4.4/ And inside each directory: 2.0: > choice201.zip choice20.zip > 3.0: > choice30.zip > 3.1: > choice31.zip > 3.3: > choice33.zip > 3.5: > choice35a.zip choice35b.zip choice35.zip > 3.6: > choice36a.zip choice36c.zip choice36e.zip > choice36b.zip choice36d.zip choice36.zip > 3.7: > choice37.zip > 3.8: > choice38a.zip choice38b.zip choice38.zip > 4.1: > choice41.zip > 4.2: > alt_TE/ choice42a.zip choice42b.zip > 4.3: > alt_TE/ choice43a.zip choice43.zip > 4.4: > choice44s.zip choice44x.zip I think that will make it easier for folks to find files as they explore the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio. I haven't finished going through *all* the directories on Ibiblio yet .. that will take months. But wanted to let folks know I was doing it. Jim
