Now, if they'll just support long file names.
And make blocking in the edit program work better.
And ship a BASIC interpretter (or something that can do the same thing.)
Or ship a bash shell with it.  Or a tiny C shell.
Or a java or javascript interpreter.
Or a perl interpeter.

Of course, all these things can be added on.

It would be nice if it came with unix-clone utilities as well.

Of course, the Lite version would have to do without these things to remain
'thin'.

Just my opinion.

The big thing is a Java machine for dos.
I hope DR-DOS, RxDOS/FreeDOS are a valid alternative OS after Y2K and the
assumption of win2K.  Linux is superior, of course, but the more
alternatives the better.  And some of us are found of DOS out of nostalgia.
