Well, I guess since there is not a good way to view it under DOS, it won’t matter if the PDF is not included. I have not looked at the latest release yet. But, it would be nice if there was at least some subset or partial manual included that covered the more common things. Which could point to the online PDF for more detailed or additional information. But, it is probably simpler and safer to just include a note that says “go here” to read the manual. :-) > > > -Mike > > > On Wed, Oct 23, 2024 at 5:59 PM Jerome Shidel via Freedos-user > <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > <mailto:freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net>> wrote: > Hi, > >> On Oct 23, 2024, at 6:20 PM, Michael Brutman via Freedos-user >> <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net >> <mailto:freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net>> wrote: >> >> Version 2024-10-20 is available.
