Well, I'll tell you one that disturbs me:
there's a lot of time since I last checked FreeDOS MEM, but last time I 
wanted to do
MEM /C
or
MEM /D
at least one of them didn't work (or maybe both, I can't tell you by heart).
Henceforth, I had to do
MEM /?
to see what was the FreeDOS way of doing things ;-))
I thought that our interfaces should be the MS way ;-))
