Something similar have been done even at 386-times.

No problem. I'm not that sure - but someone of FreeDOS developers will surely know better, if it won't be any problem. But, actually, why you want another DOSBOX to be created? You've got already DOSBOX and DOSEMU... it's not enough? -- Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
