Hello all, I can do the development. I have time and like programming (i have an own OS "bird os"...yes i like birds). If that was the question.
But my question is, why should you switch tot 32-bit? It have a lot features But MS-DOS is and was 16-bit. If we switch to 32-bit do you get Windows rather then the original 16-bit MS-DOS.
