Let me, once again, ask that someone directly ban him once and for all. He's not being helpful anymore, not even a little. On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 7:47 PM, Jack wrote: > > Mateusz and Eric, my Thanks for your comments, which I respect. Are you kidding me?? You absolutely have no respect for anyo

Hi Eric, If Jack Ellis has switched open-source UIDE to closed-source XIDE, what will be for FreeDOS 1.2 or 2.0? I believe FreeDOS 1.2 or 2.0 has to be open-source? > > I was never able to read a CD or DVD on new computer, SATA drive; > > all I'd get was the title, but file directory never sho

Mateusz and Eric, my Thanks for your comments, which I respect. But I will not accept undeserved attacks on me and my work. So, my decision stands, that XIDE and other software from me will now be closed-source. Re: the REST of what was posted on FD-User today, Sunday 14-Jun-2015: * I know it

Can someone please ban him explicitly? I know it's ironic that I spent so many hours trying to help him get back on the list. But he's neither rational nor helpful anymore. He's only following me around with his irrational anger, which is 100% unjustified. Jack, I know you think it's your "right"
