You mean Crynwr?

As far as dos networking goes, there's several network apis/programs
that can be used. ka9q is an excellent example of what dos can do,
and it works on nearly anything. (I had it running on an xt at one
point, and it handled multiple users just fine).
There's the krin tcp packet drivers, whi

There already are a few nice free file managers,
including clones of popular NC and XTree styles,
so that would be ea
Hello,
In my opinion historical applications should be advantage for intel devices
not weight for free dos. If NORTON COMMANDER is the condition lets to
rewrite it to c :-)
There are new platforms like raspberry with ARM processor and others. Why
not to port free dos also to them? Free dos woul

if by 'DOS-like' you mean 'small footprint, may access hardware,
possibly quite limited' there are plenty (toy-) operating systems out
there
I have not done the survey in a while but I have found a lot of the
older networking applications to be sorely lacking. The WATTCP based
FTP clients that I looked at did not support passive mode connections
and had horrible user interfaces. NCSA Telnet does not run on 8088
class machines; it

Re: FreeDOS vs. DOS-like operating systems
There are plenty of DOS-like hobby projects out there. But without
applications, they are pretty limited. I think a lot of the value in
DOS and FreeDOS is the ability to run existing applications. So we need
to decide on what we are trying to do; a

The road map from the Wiki dated August 2010 seems to be wildly
optimistic. It is talking about tightly integrated protected mode
support, protected mode networking and USB, borrowing device driver code
from other OSes, etc.
I don't think that road map is feasible. Ever.
