Re: [Freedos-user] Anyone want to write an article about FreeDOS?

[Travis Siegel]

Yes, it still exists, but I doubt it handles anything relatively modern, 
with the exception of web pages, since that hasn't changed very much.

does this package still exist, and if so, how does it manage more

Actually, that reminds me of a package called ka9q, which provides a 
complete tcp/ip stack to dos, that allows all kinds of net access to 
ftp, smtp, telnet, and probably other things I don't remember.  
That's probably a really good article waiting to happen.

I actually used that package to run my softcon.com site for a few 
months when I first opened it in 1996, until I got my linux boxes up 
and running.

I'll probably take a crack at something like that first before doing 
an accessibility one.

         in the
         list: conio and C programming.

         I can tell you the editors are very welcoming, which is why I
