So what? UNIX was 100% proprietary when it was created and also relied on proprietary development tools. People who care about free software wrote free replacements. As far as I know, this is also the reason for FreeDOS. Do you really mean to say that because DOS development has historically relied on proprietary tools that their should be no drive to make free replacements? Come on. Happy Hacking, David E.
