Thanks for the information. I have alot of DOS programming experience, and although little BSD programming experience, I have read quite a bit and attended a 4.x KLD authoring conference at ToorCon. Since I understand low level DOS implementation (I've worked with the FreeDOS project too), I'm taking a look at doscmd and I'm going to try to contribute to this project. It seems delightfully simple in its design. I see some of the rough edges you're talking about, but I believe you're right, it's nothing a little TLC can't take care of. Thanks again for your help on the subject. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
