'''FreeDOS''', formerly known as '''PD-DOS''' and '''Free-DOS''', is a free [[DOS]] [[operating system]] for [[computers]] that run on [[x86]] architecture.
'''Art Port, Inc.''' ('''アートポート''') is a Japanese film company.


==Jim Hall releases a manifesto for a free version of DOS==
==Matsushita Promotion==
In June 1994, following the release of version 6.22 of [[MS-DOS]], [[Microsoft]] announced that it discontinued the development of the aforementioned operating system.
'''Matsushita Promotion Co., Ltd.''' was founded in October 1990.


As a result, on June 29, 1994, [[Jim Hall]] posted a manifesto on the comp.os.msdos.apps [[Usenet newsgroup|newsgroup]] that outlined his intention to create PD-DOS, a [[public domain]] version of DOS.
==Art Port==
Matsushita Promotion was renamed Art Port in February 1998.


On July 16 1994, the name of the project in the manifesto was renamed Free-DOS as the [[source code]] for the OS was to be licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]], rather than as public domain.
