Cool, then let's go with that then. :)
This means that you may zip the doszip sources any way you wish to make it work.
One last "issue" is the filename that a "source archive" of a package should
have... I'm not sure what is best here. Options could be:
1. doszip.src
2. doszip.src.zip
3. doszip.zip
4. doszip.7z
Opt 1 is not very intuitive... If I'd get such .src file I wouldn't know how to
use it without looking it up with a hex editor.
Opt 2 is not 8+3 friendly.
Opt 3 is confusing because it is the same filename as used by the binary
package.
Opt 4 might be least worst perhaps... But not 8086 compatible. Maybe it does
not matter for sources? Probably nobody will want to build things on an 8086
anyway. Or maybe using a different archive format? (must be freely
distributable, though). Would be nice to use a solid archive for sources, it's
more space efficient... doszip.tgz?
Or maybe there's another option I didn't think about?
