14 DAY TRIAL // FreeDOS, a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC, is now at version 1.1 and has a new maintainer.
FreeDOS was declared dead five years ago, but it seems that it has been resurrected. Bernd Blaauw, the present developer, has updated the operating system to version 1.1.
FreeDOS 1.1 is best suited to use from CD-ROM and the sources are included. It can be considered as a replacement for the current 'base-only' 1.0 distributions as created by Blair and Jeremy.
"Future plans should consist of extending the amount of available programs to the level that 1.0 had, possibly exceeding it. Also not all batchfile work is done yet to guarantee 100% proper working configurations (partitioned harddisk versus unpartitioned versus no harddisk, USB flash drives or not, memdisk or not, various amounts of system memory from 1MB to 4096MB+ etc..)”, said Bernd Blaauw.
