As far as I have seen, DOS allocates one Program Segment Prefix and runs an
app in that segment. When you exit the program, it clears that app out then
loads the next one you run in the same segment. I don't think it would be
that hard to make it allocate an additional PSP every time a new app is
Actually, opendos version 7.01 (or caldera dos depending on when you purchased
it) did have multitasking, and it worked fairly well. The problem was, setting
it up and getting it to run properly was a bear. I did finally accomplish it,
but it was a tough nut to crack, and I didn't use it

Just to put in my own two cents.
The lastest happening thing is all about open source hardware. Open source
operating systems are so 2000.

MSDOS 4 had multitasking, but that was taken out
before MSDOS 4.01.
Lest I forgot, a happy new year to all !
And, Jim, a correction, as you seem to be confused here.
Mutitasking DOS was European MSDOS 4,

The kickstarter site mentions supporting DJGPP compiled programs which use
DPMI. This is already supported in FreeDOS.
It further mentions hard real time and threading. There are already user-space
threading packages
I am a little skeptical about the prospects for success on this project.
The FreeDOS roadmap ( http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/FreeDOS_Road_Map
) is out of date and short on details. I would like to see a broad
discussion on the roadmap, get consensus and have it updated.

I have nothing against the project at all (it would be awesome to have a
DOS with 32 bit speed) but I have to say I agree with Mike - the two
projects should keep separate names. FreeDOS should remain an enhanced
clone of MS-DOS since anything which takes it into the 32 bit realm would,

FreeDOS-32 was born dead IMHO. You simply can't not do what they had in
mind and still be 100% application compatible. That's why they had to
start over and over again, without really getting anywhere.
And you won't find anyone writing any new software for it that fills all
the needs
