> What does FreeDOS do better than the latest free version of DR-DOS? 

I searched for a 'free' version of DR-DOS. I found a convoluted trail of 
websites leading to a set of floppy images and an uncertain licensing 
scheme. What's the real story? FreeDOS has a gpl license and an .iso 
image (about 11Mb). I see drdos multitasks, but all I really need dos 
for is a couple of old ham radio apps I can't replace or bear to part 
with.

The same thing happened to me at one time or another. Everything since 
b9rc3 has installed flawlessly for me with the cd images.

Thanks,
