Nah, think of it as a commitment filter.  If a person can't be bothered to 
make a small download to get Perl for the conversion, how much effort do 
you think they'd put into coding and debugging the source files?  Besides, 
Perl is multi-platform and pretty darn useful once you learn a few quirks 
and basic regular expressions.

Does ATAPICD work?  I thought it was basically abandoned unfinished in 
favor of other DOS CD-drivers generally available and working  (which 
admittedly aren't open-sourced).

Anyway, that's one vote for ATAPICD and one vote for FreeDOS HELP.

Whistling, looking up at the sky, I'm sorry, did you say something?
