And in fact, others have managed to run Windows on FreeDOS. That's quite an accomplishment. > > which is more > > than can be said about the other free DOS clones. > > which 'other free DOS clones' ? I am not aware of any. Perhaps Steve is thinking of DR-DOS, which was OpenDOS for a while. But DR-DOS has been closed source for a long time. And technically, "OpenDOS" was never really "open" anyway, as the license was "look but do not touch." I don't know of any other Free/Open Source DOS systems out there. As far as I know, it's just FreeDOS.
