Since iDOS stores basic utilities on the "hidden" Z drive, yet is lacking common functions like DOS's "edit.com", would it be possible to have a folder that adds anything in it to Z drive automatically?

Desktop DOSBox forks like DOSBox-X and DOSBox Staging allow this functionality, where a "drivez" folder in the root of the installation is added to the "hidden" Z drive on boot, making those files available without altering the path.

I know the workaround is to add a full "DOS" directory (e.g. DOS 6.22) to the mounted c drive and adding "SET PATH=C:\DOS" to DOSPAD.CFG under [autoexec], however I was hoping for a solution that didn't require this.

I would also love to be able to add basic archiving (PKZIP/ARJ) utilities to Z drive for the same reason.

Alternatively, perhaps a free alternative to EDIT.COM and other useful tools could be added to the current Z drive?
