Gerard and/or somebody uttered:
Sorry for a newbie to enter the discussion here. Was just wondering, it appears to me this is just the sort of thing that "Tripple Dos" does - multitasking so you could run multiple instances of DOS. Maybe you were thinking of something else, I don't know...Sure - if you're running Linux already, in whatever distribution you favour.as you can much easier start multiple instances of Dosemu, it is unnecessary work to add a VMM to FreeDOS. Just use the one of Linux to run multiple Dosemus... However, file locking and sharing in Dosemu could be improved for that style of use.
My idea was to strip this down to something where you have a "VM-wrapper"
that automatically starts a number of Dosemu sessions, without all the admin
load of Linux behind it. Kind of what CP/M-86 did: with Alt-Tab-F1 ...
Alt-Tab-F4 you could switch between ten different sessions.
Of course, if you have Linux, you can (should) use Linux for this. But if
all you need is a VMM and not a completely new underlying OS (with issues no
"average" DOS user would even start worrying about - think of different file
systems, daemons, runlevels etc.), then some lean and mean "VM-wrapper"
could be a nifty "add-on" to FreeDOS.
