I don't like this. Even if it is better, it should be only with an optional parameter (or environment variable). Main goal is to make it "just like DOS"

To make things clear, my original idea is "add a switch and display
like PC-TOOLS v9's MI"

I agree.

Yes, I agree that work should target at "same as DOS", but if the
original DOS option sucks, we can consider an alternative, like add a
switch to "workaround", original DOS v6.22 or v7.10 is not perfect

In this case, MEM didn't stay resident, so I think bigger file size is
not a problem, if someone interest, he can code a FDISK /menu or
FORMAT /menu with TurboVision like window

I agree, but I am sure that you will find many to disagree. For some people here, size *is* an issue, apparently even for the non resident files.

May I suggest something that I used for a PCI driver: you put all the functions that do the real work in separate files fropm the output files, this way you can compile 2 targets and so keep one of them small.
