Yes, but the project was formulated with a clear object: Create a free replacement for MS-DOS. And take 10+ years to get it !!! Create a free replacement for a Win9x system is a bigger objective, and is different enough to be a different project. 2009/6/17, Mike Webb : > (Prior posters' names

Each directory that has stuff to be built has its own (customized) "makefile". From the DOS command line, "cd" to the desired directory, and run command "make" or "make install" (as appropriate). This results in the directory's files being built (using the information in 'makefile'). Sometime
