Well, I'd say it's rather likely to be the other way around - your massive zip is an incorrectly formatted version of the things I already maintain since many years through the FDNPKG repo :)
But I can't really say more about your massive zip, since I hadn't analyzed it, I once quickly looked into it and stopped after seconds when seeing that it has no chance to work (and I think I shared my concerns with you then). I cannot guarantee it's all the 'latest and brightest' versions of everything, since it's something I do with very little time, so it might happen some of the packages are one version off sometimes. It's surely a greatly updated version of the stock FreeDOS 1.1 though.
