Been trying my darnest to get my favorite #vim setup to work on my most favorite OS. 
I figure I share anyway because despite the failure I'm facing now, we really gotten over a few roadblocks in setting up networking and pulling data over https.
curl doesn't have the means to pull data from https out of the box because it lacks the means to generate sufficient randomness for SSL. To correct this, you need a dedicated random$ device driver.
#freedos has the noise driver available for the i386 and Pentium x86 cpus. You get it from the lynx web browser package. Then load that from FDCONFIG.SYS
Unfortunately, I'm now butting up against the fact that vim-plug works with git, and there's no official git app for DOS at this time. I wonder if I can fake it by making a script within %PATH%
