You're welcome! :-)

Completely removing the article takes away a little soul from SvarDOS,
so I don't recommend to do so.

I good take something from the German Wikipedia article, of course. But
then it would only be rough "translation".

And I translated to German now. :-)

Btw: I'm only that fast in translating, because I used Google Translator
and Deepl.com to do most of the job. Then I checked the results and did
some adjustments here and there. Paragraph by paragraph.

"pkgnet checkup" shows Help 20220212 only, but you already bumped the date?

Will think about it.

Please rewrite in Pascal first.

Yes.
Even searching at the current page would be an evolution already.

I see.

Yes. But it makes sense.
