* Executable either does its normal job or exits with a friendly hint about
the unsupported CPU.
 
** Packages in curved brackets are not "CORE" packages, but do exist on the
installation medium anyway.
 
Notes:
01) Also contains localized versions from cmd-de.com (German) to cmd-tr.com
(Turkish)
02) pce-ibmpc: undefined operation [C1 04] -> Uncompressing with UPX made
it work.
03) Replaced BSUM E20D file. Used UPX with "--8086" option.
04) pce-ibmpc: undefined operation [C1 e1] -> Needed a full rebuild.
05) Replaced BSUM F098 file. No "-1" option for TC++. Used UPX with
"--8086" option.
06) Exits with: "At least a 80386 is required."
07) pce-ibmpc: reports 1,024K of conventional memory, but 0K free.
08) Exits with: "Must have at least a 386."
09) Exits with: "No 386+ CPU; UDVD2 not loaded!"

%hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list
 
* Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?) that is:
- TINY (a dozen of KiBs or so)
- relatively simple: no need for advanced text editing features, just enough
to comfortably edit small (<64K) configuration files
- 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements
- multi-lang (kitten library)
- capable of (limited) copy/pasting between two files
 
* replace FreeCOM by SvarCOM
 
* improve installer so user can choose the target disk
 
* COUNTRY settings shall be configurable by localcfg (and user should be
able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during
install time)
 
* out-of-the box networking support:
- requires shipping lots of packet drivers with SvarDOS... Should CRYNWR be
part of the install set? Or only selected, most popular drivers? Or maybe
this could be provided as a "supplemental" floppy disk?
- user should be asked for its NIC model at install time
- installer could also ask for a basic DHCP / static configuration
 
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of
system()-calling fdisk
 
* help - write more useful content!
- basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc)
- common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..)
- networking guide
- memory management basics
- ...
 
* test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care
must be taken for core things: kernel, command.com, fdisk, himemx...
 
* add new, useful software to the SvarDOS repository (see the %lpkgrules.ama:rules%t)
 
* further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new
languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting
and reviewing translations
 
* all user-facing CORE packages should be NLS-aware (translatable)
 
* possibly plenty of other things
