Bug report from Willi: INTERRUP.1ST

[shidel]

1. [TYPO] – Spelling & Grammar

Copyright & Legal Sections:

Line 55: "All changes... are (c) Copyright 2026 The List Project and it's contributors." -> Change to "its" (Possessive vs. contraction).

Line 79: "...names of all contributers are preserved..." -> Change to "contributors".

Line 85: "Some of the archives... contains programs..." -> Change to "contain" (Subject: "archives", plural).

Line 89: "Please send corrections/additions to the interrupt list me..." -> Change to "interrupt list to me".

Line 113 (Disclaimer): "...please let us know hether or not it works..." -> Change to "whether".

Credits & History Section:

2. [TECH] – Technical Accuracy & Historical Context

   German Character Encoding (Line 95):

    Entry: "Beitr„ge werden auch gerne in Deutsch angenommen!"
   
    Observation: This is a classic "Mojibake" error where a CP850/858 ä is rendered as „ in a different viewer.
   
    Recommendation: Use UTF-8 for the string: "Beiträge".
   

   Hungarian Name Encoding (Line 458):

    Entry: "Szappanos G bor"
   
    Observation: Missing character (likely á). Should be "Szappanos Gábor".
   

   System Abbreviations (Line 131):

    Verification: The list of abbreviations is accurate. Note that ConcCP/M (Concurrent CP/M) is correctly identified as the ancestor of DR Multiuser DOS.
   

   Lineo/Caldera History (Line 878):

    Entry: "OpenDOS, DR-OpenDOS, and DR-DOS are trademarks of Lineo, Inc."
   
    Check: While historically true, Lineo was a successor to Caldera. For a 2026 list, noting the DR-DOS Enhancement Project as the last active maintainer of the non-embedded branch might be relevant for current developers.
   

3. [FORMAT] – Layout & Structure

   File List Alignment (Lines 9–46):

    The spacing between the filename (e.g., BIBLIO.LST) and the description is consistent.
   

   Credit List Indentation:

    The dates (MM/YY) are aligned. However, the contributors Mike Morearty, Ed Nather, and Peter Holzmann (Line 165) use a backslash/greater-than brace (\ > /) to group themselves. This is a very old RBIL styling choice; ensure it renders correctly in plain-text viewers.
   

   Divider Column (Regel 2.3):

    The ninth column of the divider line correctly contains the category code (e.g., --------D- for DOS, --------V- for Video).
   

[SUMMARY OVERVIEW FOR THIS BLOCK]

INTERRUP.1ST is the front door to the collection. The most urgent corrections are the "it's/its" possessive error in the primary license notice and the "is not" error in the contact footer. Fixing the IBM Business and available typos in the trademark section is also essential for a professional release.
