The assumption appears to be that every DOS program ever written is "DOS". This
is a fallacy. DOS is just the kernel and command processor; usually a few
utilities are included to make the 'distribution' somewhat useful -- see e.g.
the DOS 5.0 manual that includes DOSSHELL and a few other utilities. I would
define a utility as a _small_ program that performs housekeeping functions or
supports larger applications.
I, for one, support the inclusion of programs/applications (or links to them)
beyond the general category of "utility" when it meets the group standards --
primarily: still supported, source code available and a license that is
compatible with the spirit of GPL. We cannot provide and support everything
ever written _for_ "DOS".
