COOL

> The DOS version is also freeware now! Big thanks Martin!

So previously only the non-DOS versions were freeware ?

Well, some more serious tests in DOS :

- It is low-memory-hoggy. It works in both FreeDOS and EDR-DOS only if DOS is HIGH and there is no unnecessary stuff loaded.

- Mouse doesn't work:

> Ver. 1.2 &
> Total NEW design, "User friendly", mouse support own fonts...

> Ver. 2.22
> Released: Jan-10-1996
> Fixed a mouse bug

> Ver. 2.50
> Released: May-06-1996
> Created Roll-Up menus + mouse support + hotkeys for them
> (pretty hard work in assembler )

No mouse support removal mentioned ...

- Some minor "broken graphics" or "shows garbage" issues

- TFM is outdated:

> 2. Report file ("-r" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY]
> 3. Short report file ("-s" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY]

- Some incomplete/wrong detections ???
