I'm also very interested in people's response to the program and I think distributing the software by the usual means might help with that. However, it might be the case that people able to use the program will tell you, as I've done, that it works very well but won't disclose any information that would led you to reach the same conclusion --- besides the usual "it works for me". Thus, I wonder about the real meaning of "the FreeDOS, or any other community, proving you are wrong" and convincing yourself of so. > Anyway, please do not take this the wrong way - I briefly looked at > your source code, and you are obviously skilled in what you do.

Please, notice I'm not challenging your decision, after all I think you have the final word on what gets distributed officially by FreeDOS FDNPKG repositories.
