You're obviously more familiar with what happens with non-English users than I
am, so we'll use your recommendations and not worry about option-letters or
documentation, at least for now. But I will still need to decide on how to

Hi Tom,
to quote a 2018 FAT16 speed test example by Jack, copying a
mix of files and directories of different sizes disk to disk:

Hi everybody,
I also agree that there should be a next release candidate
first, not immediately a FreeDOS 1.3 release.
Even when RC5 is perfect, nobody would stop us from simply
bumping the version number for release. And when it is not
perfect, things can be improved before the actual
o.
This is only a collection of ideas that shall help to get FreeDOS to a "final"
version.

As a translator and somewhat a tester, IMHO a RC5 would be necessary.
For example, when one chooses the French or Turkish (and possibly
