I notice a substantial amount of DOS applications are ported from Linux, a lot
of BSD applications are ported from Linux.
FreeDOS is intended to be compatible with MS-DOS, so applications that come
from MS-DOS and Linux may be appropriate in discussions about FreeDOS.
FreeDOS is not an isolated world.

In the old days (92, 93 or so), BSD programs were ported to Linux. In
the really old days (86) BSD programs were ported to ...DOS.
Am I mistaken, or are we (BSD aside) saying the same thing?
