Hello, I think that it's a good idea overall that one can decide the folder where one can install the "big" programs, as could be to have a OpenWatcom or FreePascal distribution, whereas the single-binary ones (or equally smaller) should be merged into the freedos\bin directory.

If it is about storing LIB files, I remind you that "we" (or more specifically, you) voted against having FREEDOS\LIB for such thing long ago (whereas I lined "for" and lost), with the argument that such stuff should go preferably uncompiled, and in any case under "SOURCE" folder. ;) In any case, I don't think it's a good idea for devel stuff: if it's a small compiler, such as NASM, UPX, then it can fit in \freedos\bin. As for the big ones (e.g. OpenWatcom), they need not be treated different from any other big stuff (like Arachne).
