By popular (ahem) request, a list of things that work correctly on my
XT. This list is not exhaustive. My testing was not thorough; I only
tested very basic functionality of each program.

8086/XT compatible components in FreeDOS 1.0:

kernel.sys (version 2036, 8086, FAT-32)
assign.com
append.exe (but does not affect fc.exe, find.com)
attrib.com
choice.exe
comp.com
chkdsk.com
diskcomp.com
diskcopy.exe
debug.com
deltree.com
edit.exe (but extremely slow)
fc.exe
format.exe
find.com
keyb.exe
label.exe
mem.exe
more.exe
move.exe
print.com/printq.exe (seem to do something but I don't have a printer)
replace.exe
sort.com
sys.com
tree.com
xcopy.exe
pg.exe
ctmouse.exe

I used command.com 0.82pl3, which is not included in FreeDOS 1.0.

KEYB.EXE seems to work. That is: if I type KEYB NL, all the punctuation
keys get messed up and the rest of the system continues to work. My XT
keyboard has an enhanced 101-key layout (I think that's unusual) and
even that is handled ok.

Yes, it has CGA. I think I know what GRAFTABL is meant to do, but I
never managed to understand the EGA.SYS, DISPLAY.EXE, MODE.COM circus.
I can try something if you explain me the commands I should type.
