It was Jim's comment, not my own.
Having never used freedos for a variety of reasons I am not in a position,
nor do I claim to be in a position to comment on its coding sources.
Its why I stated from the outset that My request was for Ms DOS related
tools . And why upon discovering that a freedos solution was older than
the publicly available DOS one, I commented on that fact.
Jim stated that was strange, since to ask about a DOS solution on a
freedos list calling into question a freedos solution is strange.
In my Dictionary, making a suggestion to use, not happening in the
present situation, but in many instances previously a tool from a
completely unrelated to the scope of this list operating system, is
even stranger.
may as well make windows or Mac ones, after all the Mac system is Unix
based too.
Shameful is in the eye of the beholder, so is strange, with those eyes
starting with Jim's comment.

The idea that asking about msdos in a freedos forum and raising

shameful.

Unless you consider that a lot of the software included with FreeDOS is
ported from Linux and Unix -and that Unix (and unix-work-alikes) programs
have had dos ports going back to ..crimony, 1986 if not earlier?
I'd suggest that shameful is in the eye of the beholder. ;)
