No one expends any effort whatsoever on the DOS port except myself, for a very long time now. I really don't understand the knee-jerk reaction this causes some people whenever I ask to rename a bunch of files. Perhaps I should simply rename them myself silently to whatever names I like, to avoid the repeated discussions, like the one that will undoubtedly ensue in this case. Too bad my upbringing makes it hard for me to do that without consulting the author first.
