But I don't make and don't going to make any radical changes or innovations. The last big things I added were 32bit sound support, and GZ-packed disk images (what Si ignored, and made his own standard - oooh like Microsoft.....). So I ask here: Is there anybody who will want DOS version, when we will have Win32 one? (I wonder so many people say "Windows" when they talk about Win32. It's like saying RedHat instead of Linux.)
