It seems that other people, from the FreeDOS site, are already working on the idea of
making the FreeDOS utilities working as console applications on windows. There seems to be
already a sourceforge project created.
But I don't want to anounce the work of somebody else too much. So I'll be quiet
about the rest.
Making them available as windows console applications is probably best, that way they can
be used in windows, reactos and FreeDOS (using the HX-DOS extender), exactly the same.
People can then choose wether they want to use/bundle these with reactos.

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.
