I'd be happy to see it 'bumped down' to ports status. > I think doscmd works very well, I've been playing with it a couple of days, and its great. The pity is that it doesn't have support for int13, which is used by most of the old MS_DOS games (like Prince of Persia, my favourite). If it's going to be well mantained, I would prefer to see it on the ports collection, but on the other hand I wouldn't like to see this program dissapear from FreeBSD at all. I've never tested it with flash utilities and such (Im afraid of upgrading my flash :), but I think it is a useful thing to have, either on the base system or in the ports. Regards.
