I remember someone try Windows 3.1 on FreeDOS, it's not practical to
run an old Windows on it, but doesn't it mean FreeDOS is "LESS" than
MS-DOS, not 100% compatible.

Though MS-EMM386 have bugs, it support memory remapping. But I
strongly feel FD-EMM386 not complete if it CAN'T do what MS CAN do.

Sorry if I cause you trouble. But personally I feel that's no reason
FreeDOS is inferior to MS-DOS.
