Hmmm...lets see...
FreeDOS compiled with DJGPP...
The OS can boot the same way, the go32 extender can be added to all the
executables to run in protected mode on 386 and higher machines (386 is the
baseline for LFN anyways, right), so basically the installer would have to
do a processor check

Does this imply that FreeDOS would become a 32-bit OS and

what exactly ? 'see the CD' isn't exactly helpful

I have always had problem being able to establish a permanent handle to
lower memory with 32 bit DJGPP. It seems that you need to create a new
one every time you access the lower memory since the handle seems to
become invalid at the strangest moments. This is quite tedious.

Thumbs down.

it should be easy to move the DJGPP librarie
Yes, I agree! Bbut I don't think, that all utitlities needs to be
converted. But DJGPP and Open-Watcom should become the "Free-DOS
compilers". More "GNU programs" could be included into Free-DOS.

After having an extensive private chat with Eric. I was wondering what the
overall interest of the project would be to move the FreeDOS utilities to a
DJGPP based platform.
This would give us full LFN support for free. And Jim said repeatetly that he
wants us to move into 32 and 64 bit program
Cool,
If you want it to be included in FreeDOS, you have to do the anounce-thing and
send an LSM to Jim.
