Great news. :-)

I created an “unstable” branch in the FreeDOS GitLab Archive. That way the new 
version will be in the next Interim Test Build for every one to try out. 

I did make a few minor adjustments to the LSM file. Mostly for compatible with 
the current automated maintenance utilities. For example, most of those tools 
can properly deal with multiple line entries. However, I can be lazy at times 
and a few other less important tools ignore text that is not preceded by a 
field identifier. 

Also, I noticed that you did not included the help translations from FD-NLS in 
the zip. So, I just included them. Although, I forget if TREE displays those 
versions of help when using a different language. 

I’ll definitely have to give it a try.

Looking forward to that as well. :-)
