Hi Jerome,

1) CPIDOS, this is basically just a package of codepage font files.
Those files have been assembled in some fashion into the CPX files and
distributed as such. However, there is no utility or information
present in the package to create such CPX files. We should probably do
something to remedy that.

Check the sources of MODE for more info. I think the method
is to rename the CPI to COM (or SYS? I think it was COM) and
tell UPX to compress that "executable". If you want the 8086
compatibility, do not forget to use the appropriate UPX flag.

I recommend that you test the CPX files generated, in case I
forgot something relevant.

4) CDP, This is not open source software. It is Freeware without
sources. Should this be removed. Is there an decent open source
alternative?

What does CDP do? Can you mention some features of that?

Eric
