Jack writes good code, but he tends to get very upset very quickly, and then lashes out at people. He has brought a lot of ill will here. It's no surprise that Jack keeps adding notices in his software "license" that says you cannot use his program on or with FreeDOS. > Sigh.

Eric sometimes likes to "advertise" some of the stuff Jack is doing elsewhere. It always generates a lot of unhelpful noise. Until Jack re-releases his programs under an open source software license, I remain uninterested in the things he is doing. I wish him the best, but closed source DOS doesn't interest me.
