Fair. There are quarterly updates but they keep very quiet about them. https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ > I would love to see FreeDOS become a full fledged > MS-DOS 7.0, would have/could have/should have been, replacement.

IBM made the kernel and core files of PC DOS 7.1 a free download as part of the Serverguide Scripting Toolkit. I consider that as a public release. I combined that with the free PC-DOS 7.01 VM distributed for free with Microsoft VirtualPC. https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/59703.html You get Y2K compliance, FAT32 and LBA support, and also IBM E and Rexx if you want them. It works very well. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
