Hello,everyone!I am creating a new security feature for the new

a multi-user system for freeDOS.While
I thought to try something new with the updated installer. Rather than have
one big program that does everything, why not create a few simple tools
that can be used in an INSTALL.BAT to install FreeDOS? Enhanced Batch File
tools already exist, I suppose, but I wanted free software tools. And of

multitasking is certainly far from trivial, but will not fill a fl
I don't think I missed anything. In his most recent post Mercury Thirteen
spoke of multiple 16 bit programs running at the same time. That it's not
