- Is a 32-bit version of DOS, viable or desirable?
- Is it possible to change DOS in a way that all the non-RAM above 640K
- can be moved somewhere else and that DOS can execute in a flat memory model?
- I would like to be able to declare arrays larger than 64KB and be able to
- do 32-bit disk accesses.
- Would it be possible to run 16-bit DOS underneath such engine?
- I would not like the added complexity of OS/2 or Windows, just a true
- 32-bit DOS.
