Damian,
        Quoting from the FreeDOS Project's "About" page at
http://www.freedos.org/about/index.html:  "At this time, it is not planned
to add enhancements or advanced features to FreeDOS such as multitasking,
protected mode operation, or a GUI."
        See if your friend would be willing to try DR-DOS under DOSEMU.  At
http://www.lineo.com/products/drdos.html, go to the bottom of the page and
download the HDIMAGE they've got for Linux.  (Linux users can use it for
non-commercial use.)  It's far more complete than FreeDOS, although it
doesn't have the coolness of being GPLed.  :)
