> and the freedos-32 stuff should merge with OSFree I thought of that, a 32-bit version of FreeDOS could take ideas/features from OS/2 and eComStation. I saw OS/2 as like a much-enhanced 32-bit DOS. On osfree.org, it looks like progress is minimal, like watching grass grow at the South Pole. I ran OS/2 from v1.3, the last 16-bit version, to Warp 4 with fixpack 12 when during the single-digit days of April 2001, following a crash/freeze, CHKDSK, running automatically, ran amok and trashed the hard-drive data. I was never again able to boot OS/2 even with the installation floppies. Since then, Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD have, as far as I can see, greatly overtaken eComStation in hardware support and functionality. Even if FreeDOS-32 and OSFree could join forces, there would be a lot of catching up to do.
