And I'm thankful for that.
Problem is that there are so few programmers left, so many bugs will be left
"forever" unfixed because nobody cares.

YEP. I don't mind if there would be a *findable*link to ZOO or UNZOO. But
having these as part of any distribution is ridiculous.

So Jerome is now suddenly the official rule maker for FreeDOS? I don't remember

fdtui. my first *visual* program by a 12 years old. how that would slip behind
any quality control is beyond me.

I never tested this. but by it's own description I vote "dismiss".
