FreeDOS puts out first new version in six years

Microsoft veteran demystifies Abort, Retry, Fail? DOS error

I love you Martin Truely.

When i was young and stupid, around dos 6.22 i took a hex editor to command.com and found the error message "bad command or file name" i replaced this with "I love you martin truely" because it had the same amount of letters. Dos still worked, but it did not take long for my mind to see the error "I love you martin truely" and to recognise it was "Bad command or file name" for me dabbling in linguistics and semiotics it was a learning experience.
