I would like to suggest an idea ive had for a long time. Why
doesnt anyone (or group) write a GUI similar to windows. I
hear all the time people complaining about windows 3.1/3.11
and windows 95/96/97/98 and the huge system requirements.
Why doesnt anyone start an organization of programmers and try
to create a similar GUI environment for DOS. I'll admit
i'm no master programmer (not a novice either) , but it would
seem with the all the libraries for DJGPP (video,audio,
multithreading,math) and the ability to (perhaps) port
some networking and system routines from linux , it wouldnt
be "that" diffiult to write a "from scratch" 32bit GUI/OS
extension that under GNU may develop a nice developer base ?

PS: DLL's and Cryptic Registries Suck! give me one EXE < 1MEG
and an INI and i'll be a very happy camper !

If there already is such a thing , please point me to it :-)
