The DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project

>>What about releasing EDR-DOS (or whatever) DEFRAG with a better version check? This is the reason the GPL is good: You are always
allowed to improve the program, or fork of your own version.<<

Yes, I have also thought about this. Perhaps I should do this, since
FD DEFRAG is at least supposedly able to defragment FAT32 drives,
and I don't know any other DOS program that can do this.

>>Besides, I don't think DEFRAG's version check was written with bad intention. DOS programmers tend to believe ("really true") MS-DOS version
numbers are a good version check.<<

Perhaps without bad intention, but it still doesn't make much sense.
Though I have not verified this, the current check indicates that it
would not work in MS-DOS 7.1, either, which defeats the concept of
FAT32 support - unless one thinks of FAT32 as a feature of FreeDOS
only. The whole idea of testing for Windows doesn't make much sense
IMO since Windows does not allow low-level access to the drives,
anyway.
