Hi Travis,
Does that mean the MS Dos code for 7 or so is has been releaced now as
well?
Sorry you lost your DOS machines in a move.

Since there was a discussion here recently on multitasking with dos, I'd like
to mention that the github versions of ms-dos has a directory called
v4.0-ozzie
That directory has some interesting stuff in it, one of them is a couple of
dissk images (I need to move them to a linux machine and see if they'll
mount, I don't have anything on windows that can identify them), but they
also have some documentation (in pdf format) about how their session manager
works, and how to make dos applications multitask. The session manager
program is present as well, so folks could probably mess around with that to
see how well (or not) it works. It might be something worth experimenting
with for those who actually want multiple dos programs running.
I'm highly disappointed I lost my dos machines when we moved about 2.5 years
ago, I'd have had a lot of fun playing with this.
Also, interestingly enough, just for reference, all of the ms-dos source code
has been released under a MIT license. I find that particularly
interesting. Apparently, Microsoft was serious when they said they're
releasing the code for experimenting, and to see how early operating systems
worked.
