MPXPlay only has a single binary (plus possibly dlls), so I would package that to go in %DOSDIR%\bin. > - Any 3rd party game (Doom...) goes to $apps\games\ Games in FD 1.0 go in %DOSDIR%\games\gamename, so similar idea. > > Obviously, it would require to set a mandatry $apps env variable, and extends > the PATH to \SBIN\ as well. > > What are you thinking about that?
