   I don't think there's something principally new to be done about
DOS, at least as I see it. My system currently runs on top of DOS and
is not bound to any specific vendor or version. It takes like 200 K of
memory and doesn't impose further system requirements.

   The most significant difference probably is that I'm still flexible.
I'm not sure by now that I want to develop a whole DOS package. I can
customize a multitasking solution to a legacy DOS-based system or
custom DOS-based embedded system rather than pull you to use something
given and unchangeable.
