Our cmd at ground are base on FreeDOS But we can not use there code. We need rewrite it or adaptit alot to NT. For we do not using djgpp (gcc dos compilier) the headers are diffent. and we do not usimg INT to call on stuff DOS does. FreeDOS are dos direcly access the hardware. And in UM u can not access the hardware direcly. and most of freedos tools doing INT ( Direcly access the hardware).
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).

No, we dont have a tree.exe at this time. Our cmd is taken from FreeDOS
... 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?
