Wow. Nice work. One suggestion -- Maybe think of a replacement word for "Compiling", since it has a misleading connotation in the context of Vogons/Dosbox (I assumed this thread would be about compiling dosbox cvs). Perhaps "Consolidating" is suitable since I don't associate that word with anything.

I see nothing about dos32a from http://dos32a.narechk.net/index_en.html

May I ask if you plan to add info about this on the wiki ?

A good start is here: [ANN]: DOS/32A v9.1.2 has been released

but im sure you already knew that 😁
