   BTW, what are your requirements again? From memory you   
   liked DOS (16-bit even). Not even a DOS extender - you   
   somehow manage to constrain yourself to 640k.   
      
   Is there a reason to arbitrarily use 640k instead of e.g. 2 MB?   
      
   And is there a reason to be attracted to 16-bit instead of 32-bit?   
      
   It's amusing the number of people who tell me that 32-bit is dead   
   when I still deal with people who won't move from 16-bit.   
      
   And that C90 is dead (replaced by C23) when I'm still dealing with   
   people who refuse to move from assembler.
