Darn. I was hoping that, in light of the early MS-DOS clone market, there was
something maybe released by a third party to help users determine if their DOS
was MS-DOSsy enough. A reach, I know, but... oh, well. If I end up making one,
I'll certainly share! :)
Night is coming along well so far, and I'm trying my best to minimize slipping
the development schedule. Hopefully we'll be on track next year to start
test-running the first small .COM executables before later moving on to EXE and
even ELF binaries.
