Yes. Most people aren't majorly interested. It's a lot of work to pack things up specially.

Too few developers, and when things do change, they change fast. So it's almost? not worth it. You'd basically be doing everything manually anyways like piecemeal upgrading. > please explain to me, so know what is going on~ Also, keep in mind that most don't have a working packet driver. So downloads from network aren't always possible for FreeDOS, sadly. > Also I am slowly making a FreeDOS sound library and drivers > Dose one exist? Besides Allegro and Judas Player? Probably not, most DOS software is old or just assumes SB, Adlib, GUS or similarly old stuff. Almost nothing supports AC97 or Intel HDA (but see B.S.Peters' Judas Player third-party contribution / hack). If you just meant sound formats, there are various libs to support Amiga modules (etc.) and .OGG Vorbis, etc. But a lot of those make certain assumptions too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
