It is both free and open source ... just not qualifying for the "only correct" definition of "free" by FSF ;-)

YES, but no big problem. I don't need "built-in" garbage like Quack-BASIC :lol3:

Sorry but your "argument" doesn't work :crying: You can't seriously advertise a thingie that is not legally available to the public and at same time whine about piracy of it ... pirated MS-DOG downloads are very easy to find, partially with source :clap:

IMHO the future of DOS is NOT in MS-DOG (legal or illegal, with or without leaked sources), nor in NTVDM of XP/Vista (again with or without leaked sources) ... so the pirated leaked crap sources are not worth the bloat they cause :clap:

Agree, but piracy is IMHO not the correct way. Just avoid using or even worse advertising their fine products ;-)

No piracy in 8.0 ? FAT32 just didn't work ?
