Hi Bill If I recall correctly, the willybilly 1.0.7a help pages are an in-development version of the new FreeDOS Help pushes. Willybilly is the same person who developed the help pages for 1.06. I don't know about the different version number formats, though. On Jan 18, 2015 7:29 AM, wch-tech

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 2.0 GUI?

2015-01-18 Thread Don Flowers

Hi Eric, Windows is much more than a GUI. There are also 1000s of programs which need Windows (even Windows 3) to function. If you would make a new GUI for DOS, it would not allow you to keep using all those Windows programs. I have no problem running W31, for those programs that I still own
