Hi Victoria,
I just ran a quick test, some proposals for the future:
"update pkg" is nice, but an additional "update all" would be helpful as otherwise you always have to keep in mind which programs have to be updated and run one after the other.
"notinstalled" should show all programs that are really not installed, but exist in the repository, e.g. "Blocek" or "zerofill". I think this is more important
as you want to know which programs can be installed. If you do not know them you will not have the idea which programs are available. I think this are a lot of programs, so you should split it, e.g. by showing the different download folders after a pause.
fdnpkg download zerofill does not directly show where it is stored, only as zerofill.zip. (I saw that it is c:\) Would it be possible to say: C:\zerofill.zip?
At /? help there is a minus (-) between the option and the explanation. In most cases you can move the - some characters more left to the options, this has the benefit that overlong text does not jump to a new line, e.g. set lang=de, run fdnpkg16 /? and then go through to vnotinstalled, I am sure you will find it.
Thanks
Fritz
