even assuming a) we have a well written design of 'a good set of well written VxDs' b) lots of highly qualified programmers that would turn this design into well written code, thereby wasting many years of precious life time what exactly do you think would happen? there are no programs around that would do anything useful with these wonderful VXDs. and now the life time is really wasted ;) the problem here is that a multitasking DOS (like OS/2 1.9) is much more work by an order of magnitude, and nobody around FreeDOS is doing any reasonable programming work (with the possible exception of Ercsan, and he is not qualified). can we please close this issue?
