Yes, but it isn't free/shareware.

At your home:
"Yes, we think that DOS is still alive and has its own niche, because of its
spartans simplicity and power of direct hardware access"

The bad think is, that Lineo doesn't think so :-((((((. It's DOS is the best
(memory manager, DPMS, taskmanager).
If it would be released under GPL, many programmers would develope them.
