   I already have a nominally 64-bit version of PDOS that   
   runs under 64-bit UEFI.   
      
   I'm still waiting for compiler support to effectively force   
   it back to 32-bit.   
      
   For PDOS/386, as of yesterday, the entire toolchain except the   
   compiler is public domain, and all the assembler is masm   
   syntax.   
      
   ie we now have a public domain assembler that is sufficiently   
   masm-compatible for my purposes.   
      
   I haven't yet proven that the entire PDOS can be built with   
   Visual Studio, now that the language has been switched.   
      
   I've proven it with Watcom though.   
      
   If I dumb down the source base to SubC then I should be able   
   to have a completely public domain solution, but I am holding   
   out for Octogram C.   
      
   There is currently work being done to convert the public domain   
   toolchain to 64-bit, but direction, and even definition, is still being   
   negotiated.
