I've removed one font (the large helvetica) and added 
two (a 14x24 and a scalable).  I've also stripped all 
the fonts (except the scalable).  Nothing else has been 
removed (so far).  There is one significant addition --
a new application that runs in X.

Probably.

Nope.  Still waiting -- nothing from them since January.

The README file already says:

Problem?

To boot correctly, BL3 needs a relatively clean DOS.  If BL3 
refuses to boot (or it crashes when you try to run X), start 
your DOS without extras: no CONFIG.SYS, no AUTOEXEC.BAT, no 
Windows.
