 Ni> When you say FreeDOS is "up to date", what does that mean?  I imagine

I meant that FreeDOS is an active project. The last commit on github is from last week: https://github.com/FDOS/kernel

 Ni> like MS-DOS is what almost everyone ran on a PC, so I'd go with MS-DOS.

I ended up choosing MS-DOS 6.22.

 Ni> There are also alternatives such as Digital Research's DR-DOS and IBM's
 Ni> PC-DOS, which are interesting, but I've heard of things like Microsoft
 Ni> making Windows 3.1 refuse to run if it detected DR-DOS, and things like
 Ni> that..

There is also 'Concurrent DOS', which is a multitasking version of DOS. Someone could write an entire book about DOS (and I would buy it lol).

.... He's got the job, he HAS to be qualified.
