Unfortunately things weren't that simple. PDOS/386
required the ":".

But eventually I got it sorted.

If you search for "freewindows" at pdos.org there is
a bigger disk available called freewin2.zip and
that has a mainframe image.

You can run the mainframe, but for some reason
com1 doesn't yet work, so needs to be debugged.

However, I was able to get file transfer operational
between two Freewindows instances.

Documentation for both things is at the bottom of
the readme.txt on the freewin2 disk image.

The source code on the disk image is now out of date,
but it is available on the PDOS/386 disk where I
put out a new image.

Time to consolidate the win.
