I would very much like to extend this maintenance into reactos. I actually would like to
volunteer for all these other tools coming from FreeDOS too.
But then we do talk about fully 32/64 bit binaries that are fully aware of reactos.
You could build thess from scratch for the reactos project, but I think it would be much
more productive to start from an already very stable code base. Instead of maybe again
spending 12 years of development.

A few hours ago the base part of FreeDOS version
1 was released.
Now is probably a good time to port all the relevant FreeDOS commands: move, diskcopy,
diskcomp, chkdsk, fc, ... to reactos.
Some of them are written in assembly and would inherently not be portable (deltree,
...).

Well as long as windows has these application(and they have all the ones
you mentioned excluding move which is internal to cmd) they can be moved
to ReactOS\base\applications which is where we keep all these apps.
Though, we might want to stay away from the asm ones. My question is
whether we are going to do vendor drops and treat them like wine code
where we sync them back all the time and submit patches back to the
original project to get them when we sync again or whether we we are
just going to add them to the our tree?
Either way, I can probably help in the process to move them over.
