I have to add a comment here, as i have read Jim Hall comments before and i for one do not like bad mouthing people and like Dos.
But Jim Hall is one of the best publicist out there, he get his name on everything. But 99.9% of the work was done by people like Pat Villani, Tom Norman and 80% of what we call FreeDos kernel is DOS-C, the rest is by differant people. And if you take out DOS-C than very little works as been done on the kernel, he is now trying to move out of DOS, to a more modern DOS, just what most Dos fans have bean saying for the last 4 years, So for that to happen FreeDos needs a coder to lead it, not a publicist. Even the so called FreeDos book is really a renamed DOS-C book 
http://www.ercb.com/feature/feature.0010.html So i would like to thank all the FreeDos coders for there work and a note to Jim Hall, give more credit to the real people that code it  . |

Thanks for this info. Quote: There is still a misconception that "DOS" refers to MS-DOS (which hasn't been developed past 1994 ... unless you count Win9x/WinME, which I don't). Anyways, for most people today, DOS should probably mean FreeDOS (since it's freely available) Definitely. MS-DOG died 1994,  and stopped being a serious OS already
1990 when Mr. B.G. released "Windows 3.0" and started to call this silly thing "a new OS" and to push people to develop for "Windows" instead for DOorS.

The NTFS "CHKDSK" can take an hour to "complete" and at the end the filesystem is usually still wrecked exactly as before _________________ Bug Nr.: 12345 Title: Hello World program compiles to 100 KB !!!

Hmmm, even though I've been with FreeDOS for a long time (see http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=2627), I still use MS-DOS much more, for its reliability and self-compatibility.
