That makes sense.  It's on keel with MS-DOS 6.22, which is FreeDOS'

I see.  But that's more like the minimum goal of FreeDOS, right?  To be
at least as good as MS-DOS 6.22.  The recursive feature wouldn't be
rejected or a bad idea at all, I presume?

It is my personal opinion that adding Win9x DOS or PC DOS 7 functionality to FreeDOS would be perfectly fine since those features are in the spirit of MS-DOS. I think DEVLOAD was added to FreeDOS specifically because of me mentioning PC DOS 7's DYNALOAD (which is the most useful addition to PC DOS 7).

I did write my own FIND, but it doesn't support /S either.  Using some
GNUey version of grep or fgrep is probably your best bet.

Sure! Unfortunately not viable on a 286- system, I think?

-uso.
