I'd like to help out with the DOS commands if you need a hand. My time is limited right now but I will eventually have more time to help out on other things. I could send my resume if you want to see my background. I also have lots of hardware and software to test and play with. Email me and let me know. [email hidden for spam protect] By the way, I couldn't figure out how to get a log-on to your forums so I registered on your web site.

I sent email to you with some explanation of tasks.

According to our roadmap we are now at version 0.0.3 now. We have a general working of FreeLDR (except config parser and VBE support) for stage 0.0.2 and a working CONFIG.SYS parser for stage 0.0.3. We still are thinking about real requirements for version 0.0.4 at the present time because we have working LX parser prototype and most of IFS must be in Personality Neutral services. So, we are planning to slightly review the 0 .0.x series roadmap for better representation of our current situation and needs. Most probably, we will introduce following changes:

Today we started uploading the sources to SVN with the aim to configure a common build system. As we do not yet have an own SVN-Server yet, we are using the SourceForge Server. You can find the sources at https://sourceforge.net/projects/osfree/. At the moment this is NOT fully functional, not even all parts of the sources have been uploaded. Still feel free to improve osFree
