Hello, 

I like to program MY OWN WindowManager with a small Desktop. 
It is ONLY for an embedded system. (SEAL ist too big) 

Now my Questions:

1)      How can I make a program which can run without DOS as embedded 
        system ? Maybe I need FreeDOS to partition and formating the 
        Harddisk and write my own Bootsector which load the Window-
        Manager and Desktop... or MUST I use DOS because the Packet-
        Driver for the Watt-32-Stack

2)      Where can I get Infos about programming the Grafik-Interface
        (must be 1024x768x256) 

3)      It must have Multitasking. Each task must have the same time-
        delay like under Linux and not preemtiv where one task can 
        block all others (e.g. the FAX under Windows)

4)      How can I program my small apps modular. They must work only 
        inside my WindowManager and Desktop. In have heard about *.dxe 
        which is like a *.dll and can loaded dynamicly.

5)      The whole thing must run with a 486/33 (with FPU) and 4 MB Ram.

6)      The TCP-Stack (Watt-32) must included in the WM and desktop 
        and must be accessibel by all Apps. 

7)      Interface to controll I/O-Card (8255 or soething like this)

8)      And finaly the WindowManager and Desktop must have a nice 
        design and 'Calmira II' like frienly

It will be nice if I can get many URL's to check out because I like to 
get the Infos before I beginn to programm it. 

Nany Thanks in advance

Nur

P.S.:   My first Apps are running already ;-)) without any compiler-
        errors and crashes. Many thanks to the writers of the FAQ and 
        all the full blown Documentations.

        Hey Girls and Guys, I like to continue to programm properly...
        ...so I need very good Infos of you (the already C-Profis).
