Usually one would go back to the previous version first.
Maybe you can reverse the order of alternative versions?
So in your example "dosmid-0.9.5" would be the leftmost version. It's
easier to spot than at the end of the line, at least to me.

Uh, very nice! :-)
Still have to try that.
I didn't think about it very hard, but would it be useful to users to
backup the currently installed version before installing another version?
Of course, this adds more complexity to SvarDOS, because then you also
need some clean-up mechanism for old packages. Either for manual clean
up or automatically, e.g., keep last two versions.
Cheers,
Robert
