The flamewar aside I wanted to make a correction to this; Jack himself requested his programs not be part of FreeDOS; it just so happens that his earlier ones with sources are under a license that allows them to continue to be distributed anyway. The other major issue is that for all FreeDOS programs,utilities,etc. source is a very important component; I mean there are tons of good to excellent DOS programs out there, but without source or permission to include they do not belong as a part of FreeDOS [the distribution, not the community]. So regardless of technical merit or not, it really does matter. Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
