BTW, I'll add that Eric is copying this news item from the FreeDOS website, https://www.freedos.org/
Always good to check in on the website from time to time. :-) A few other news items you may have missed: NetHack 5.0.0 (includes DOS version) 2026-05-25 2:55pm FDNPKG16 v0.99.8254 2026-05-24 9:52am Volkov Commander is now open source 2026-05-24 9:26am EtherSlip 11.8 2026-05-24 9:03am Updated SBEMU 2026-05-24 8:56am DOS Ultimate Game Library (DUGL) 2026-04-08 9:19am * You can see I finally "caught up" with news items on the 24th. ;-) We use the SourceForge 'News' feature to add news, which gets automatically displayed on the FreeDOS website. That's why Eric linked to sourceforge.net, because the news items are actually entered at SourceForge.
