Hi Tom, Jim, Mercury and Bryan, > First website to come to mind is github.com
Does it have a good and sympathetic reputation? Jim, thanks for the comment that it is "easier" to organize things on github than on sourceforge: My impression of git compared to svn is that the use of random hex numbers instead of sequential version numbers makes it very hard for me to get an overview what happened when in projects seen on the website, am I missing something? Mercury, I thought bitbucket was a relatively unstructured place to "just upload files"? > You mention a 2.88 MB floppy image of an old DOS distro by Rugxulo. Because almost nobody has real 2.88 MB drives, the purpose of this image is using it as the virtual boot floppy for boot CD or DVD: It is sometimes more elegant to use a real floppy size image than a harddisk image for booting. As you say, with a suitable boot loader, even arbitrary geometry harddisk images will work, but the standard for CD / DVD boot includes pre-configured categories for floppy size :-) Having no SVN, CVS, GIT, HG for DOS tells me that we are stuck to cross-compilers or people who just download in other OS, then use in DOS? Bryan, of course I can give explanations about all those files, either by chat or email, or answer questions about individual files :-) Let me know whether YOU need a list and for which of the directories on the website, then I can mail it to you. Or would you recommend to send a list (for some or all directories?) to the mailing list instead? Also possible.
