Subject: DJGPP+DOS makes great platform for simple 32bit home made Operating System.
Date: Mon, 07 Sep 1998 03:58:39 PDT

Well,
it is time to send out some comments out to
all you DJGPP fans, and others.

I believe that a special type of DOS can be developed
with programming simple platform with DJGPP,
kind of 32bit routines library for 16bit/32bit applications,
it should atleast most important functions like:

1.Device drive management system
 a.Disk handling (Application-> OS-> DOS)
 b.Ansi/Pixel Graphics
 c.Audio

Actually this ain't anymore just planning,
I have come quite far away from those
times I written first application/program
with almighty DJGPP C/C++ programming
language/Compiler.

I believe this is possible,
so why not to try?
It's new, it's cool, it's *hot idea*.

I hope you agree with me,
and remember,
everything would be first of all
based on pure DOS,
but later on my idea is to
plan it to work on my
simplified 16bit Shell kind of
operating system.

** World needs new ideas, hope, so does DOS **
