About
~~~~~
This software is part of the FreeDOS project. Please see
http:/www.freedos.org for more information, or visit the freedos
archive at "http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos".

Please send any comments or other info to:

This software has been developed by many people, which are enlisted
within HISTORY.TXT now.

Please note that this software is separate from the DOS-C kernel and
may or may not work properly under it.  Of course I am making every
effort to make it compatible.
