You emailed me? If you sent an off-list email in reply to a FreeDOS email
list message, I may have missed it because the Subject would have appeared
as a list message. (That's one reason I don't like off-list emails.)


In FreeDOS help there are a lot of outdated commands. See:

If you're asking in preparation for "FreeDOS Next" (whether that's 1.4 or
2.0 is too early to say) I think we first need to decide what commands
we'll include.


At the beginning of help I would like to add a short file: "FreeDOS for

I *love* the idea of a short tutorial article about how to use FreeDOS, and
making that part of the help. You can look through the Books page and reuse
or remix (or edit it whatever) as part of the help.
