A simple question, if I may: does FreeDOS 1.2 have a codename?

That would not be 8.3 compatible
I see that the Beta versions were Orlando, Marvin, Ventura,
Lemur, Lara, Midnite, Spears and Nikita, while the las
Beta 1 through Beta 9 R 1 had codenames. The short version is I thought
codenames were a cute idea, better than just a number, so gave the Beta 1 a
codename. But eventually they ran their course and we stopped giving names
to the releases.
You can see the codenames listed here:

Eric, Jim - good to meet!
Eric - I mostly use names within volume labels, which have the full 11
characters, but you're right, its probably better to stick to 8
characters, to allow for folder- and file names.
Nice list, though, most of them actually do make some sense. -smile-
