If it has all the features of FDNPKG, same command line and everything (and I think that's correct) then I think the FDNPKG program is just a previous version. And that means I should mirror your FDNPKG16 under files/util/system/fdnpkg Since the old versions are numbered 0.99.xx and you seem to have picked up the version numbers from there (latest is 0.99.8253b) then I think that makes it easier for me to organize the files/util/system/fdnpkg directory on ibiblio. > > also there is a 0.99.8253b version out rn > > i did some cleaning to code and comments I assume "rn" means "right now" instead of something else? I missed the "b" version announcement. Is there a homepage for FDNPKG16 somewhere that I could link to instead of a zip file? Even a simple page that shows the latest version and a link to download the zip would be enough for me. Then when you announce new versions, you can point to that page, and I can use it in the announcement -- then people will always find the latest version, even if there's a newer version since the latest news item. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
