This applies to FreeDOS in general. However, FreeDOS works for me on all
PCs I have available here in the family or in the office. Some have Windows
features
than a single person could implement and can be used as an alternative to
GTK.
My XFDOS distro is based on FLTK for DOS.

There is a free XServer and Client for DOS: Nano-X which I ported to DOS:

Since programming on the X11 level is not common today, you rather use
GTK or Qt, I also ported the FLTK GUI to DOS. This GUI has far more features

It would be interesting to see a command interpreter like
freecom/command.com with some basic GUI elements added to it. A menu bar
with mouse support, clock, scroll bar perhaps... Does something like this
exist?

There are some separate DOS utilities that provide most of these functions,
I should get my vp2os3 dos menu shell recompiled and working again. It
kinda looks like win95 in text mode.

Hi Don,
Is anyone working on a functional GUI for FreeDOS? I currently use Windows
3.1 as I do consider it to be a gui and not an operating system and it is
about 90 percent functional. It would be nice to have a completely open
source OS though.

Hi Eric,
Windows is much more than a GUI. There are also 1000s of
programs which need Windows (even Windows 3) to function.
If you would make a new GUI for DOS, it would not allow
you to keep using all those Windows programs.
I have no problem running W31, for those programs that I still own
