Just to be clear, although I am referring to FreeDOS utilities, I am 
talking about win32 pe executables, not DOS executables.  I am also 
aware some ReactOS programs (such as cmd) have roots in FreeDOS 
utilities, but are very different now.  My question is more to get an 
idea of what if any others would be of interest, which depending may 
require only minor work (which may already be planned as we are moving 
to OpenWatcom as our primary compiler) to recompile as Win32 programs. 
I also understand that for some or even all it may instead be desirable 
to write one from scratch (or existing win32 fragments) to take 
advantage of NT features, be more like NT's versions (eg format), or 
simply due to desire for a more compact/cleaner/etc version that uses 
the win32 api directly instead of compiler functions (eg using 
FindFirstFile instead of findfirst).

Thank you.  If you do decide to use my tree version, is it safe to 
assume you [ReactOS developers/users] would prefer using resource files 
for translations instead of the FD way of using cats message files?
