FreeDOS is almost 20 years old

In a June 29, 1994 post to USENET, we announced a "public domain" DOS which later became the FreeDOS Project: "Announcing the first effort to produce a PD-DOS. I have written up a 'manifest' describing the goals of such a project and an outline of the work, as well as a 'task list' that shows exactly what needs to be written. I'll post those here, and let discussion follow…" Since then, we have advanced what DOS could do, adding new functionality and making DOS easier to use. And in 2014, people continue to use FreeDOS to support embedded systems, run business software, and play classic DOS games! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of FreeDOS, be sure to pick up a tshirt, mug, or other goodie from our FreeDOS store at Zazzle. We don't actually make money from this - we provide the FreeDOS store so you can find cool FreeDOS swag.
