My two cents: I think interactive shells are a special class of application that deserves its own category due to being an intersection of a regular user application with a system utility.

Jerome mentioned maybe these types of programs belong in the APPS group instead. They fit the description of the APPS group very well: Interactive programs and applications that are more than just a command-line tool So my question is: should we move DOG and other Shells to APPS? Maybe some other utils also fit this description? Also on the topic of command interpreters, I noticed that we have SvarCOM in the Gitlab repository, but not in the installer. It was added in July to the repo. Is this an oversight or intention? What about 4DOS, should we ship it as well? It's Open Source sort-of~ish<https://4dos.info/sources.htm>... --Wolf -- |\_ | .\---. / ,__/ / /Wolf <wolf+...@bergenheim.net<mailto:wolf%2b...@bergenheim.net>>_
