MFNOS and Phil's NOS were always somewhat compact in size. Barry always insisted that MFNOS would never run on linux - he pooped himself when I got it working :) Not only that, it works better on linux than on native DOS!

I have some that volunteer info however their english is quite broken and sometimes their information gets lost in the translations. For the most part my stuff is about where it can go.

G4APL has been great in suggesting things. I've been trying to tap KE6I to be on my dev team as she's a game coder for junglevision but she never replies to my queries. ....
