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.
Some of them I personally maintain, like diskcopy and chkdsk.
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.

Hi I like see chkdsk and diskopy into reactos but I do not like a hacked chkdsk. to implement chkdsk we need fmifs be implement. I do not how far it have come. or what need todo same thing with format. we need fmifs. fmifs is layer betwin diffent filesystem and user mode u can say u can format, chkdisk any filesystem if u using fmifs in windows same way will reactos go. Are u willing helping us improve it ? And fix so fmifs working for format, defrag, diskcopy, chckdsk ?

We are really in demand of a working check-disk utility, so I gladly accept any correctly working version compatible with Windows (as in: not depending on specific ReactOS's features). It doesn't stop us from implementing fmifs.dll, uFILESYSTEM.dll's, etc too. Even helps, I would say.

Thats why I started porting the dosfsck a while back. Some of the lower level dlls for filesystem checking are highly obfuscated. It would be better to have a working tool now rather than never.
