I finally got round to publishing a version 1.0 of my long-running hobby project: a bootable DOS live USB image with tools for writers, providing a distraction-free writing environment.

github.com/lproven/usb-dos

This is very rushed and the instructions are incomplete. Only FAT16 for now; FAT32 coming real soon now.

I've now added the promised FAT32 version, which has ended up considerably smaller.

The wiki now has one whole page -- count it! -- of documentation!

@lproven Depending on whether you are keeping space to a minimum, another 1.5M may be not be too bad to keep a copy of MS-Works for DOS. That, to my mind, was always severely under-rated. Had it had a spellchecker, it, and its Windows counterpart, would have met so many people's productivity requirements.
In your context for writers, speed and the little database might be handy, though I see you as AsEasyAs, so maybe the spreadsheet too.

@withaveeay The thing is, Microsoft is very much alive and well... and highly litigious.

MS *gave away* Word 5.5 for DOS as a Y2K fix for all previous versions. It's freeware. But sadly Word 6 is not.

@lproven Ah, yes, of course. I had in mind that Works was in the same category, but of course, it's not.

@withaveeay @lproven Nothing stopping you from adding it on your own though ;D
