[Freedos-devel] OT: old DOS books, MSDN / win 3.x question

Hi! Very nice topic :-) Beta 9 Enhanced Release distro as a FreeDOS 1.0 pre-release distro. I would rather call it a FreeDOS 1.0 technology preview 1, because there are some known missing features but MOST aspects ARE 1.0-worthy. For one, this would mean that it would get tested more
