I got a friend testing FreeDOS and he report lots of problem with his old software.
Why not put up a list of FreeDOS-incompatible software so that problems can be solved one-by-one? Can you ask your friend to make a list of his software not running under FreeDOS and a brief description of the problem with each piece of software? I've always thought that the biggest problem of the FreeDOS kernel aren't bugs but incompatibility (which is also a kind of bug ;-)
But still unable to fully access NTFS or alter LFN files.
NTFS it a too complex filesystem for DOS. The FAT32 + LFN combination is enough. DOSLFN is a giant patch over the kernel and as its authors seem to ignore FreeDOS, its incompatibility will increase - so the only good solution to the LFN problem is integrating LFN support into the kernel, indeed.
Better to think other ways such as writing code and put them in bootable USB flash, boot the flash and clean virus, spam, fix or clone your hard disk! A huge market ahead ... the commercial didn't do it just for 1 reason - R&D cost too much.
Unfortunately not all BIOSes can boot off an USB "memory stick". Again, why not put up a list of the motherboards proved to boot and proved to be unable to boot FreeDOS off a "memory stick"?
