FDNPKG is the original project and is not in development anymore as it 
is 32 bit and i made FDNPKG16 a 16 bit port of it's latest code.

i got the FreeDOS package with source (of the program not the libraries 
they are found on the repository) available on 
http://4ch.mooo.com/freedos/repos/1.4/net/fdnpkg16.zip


Jim i have a question...

should i merge the 2 projects? i made FDNPKG16 distinct as it is my 
version of it. To let people know it is a different version of it.

the latest version of FDNPKG is found on source forge
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fdnpkg/files/latest/download

this is where i started on FDNPKG16


also there is a 0.99.8253b version out rn

i did some cleaning to code and comments
