* Calmira for GUI or someone could write a Program Manager for GUI like Windows 3.x. Personally, I like the style of Windows 3.x over the Windows 95 style of GUI. I can't remember if Win 3.1 had context menus or not and I kind of like a start menu/taskbar but thats not 3.11. If I do this right Calmira should work. :) > Because DOS HX Extender supports OpenGL, it is possible to use WineD3D > to translate DirectX to OpenGL, so DirectX apps may not get left out > anyway. Currently, this is how ReactOS emulates Direct3D. I expect that with all the things that I am looking at will make this both win16\win32 compatible, simply be cause of where I will be looking for code. Depends on what happens, we may want to have two version 16 only for older PC and a Win16\32 for the PCs that can handle it. This could end up being what would have happened had someone at M$ not conceived of Win95 LOL. > With the Nano-X server for DOS adapted to be up to date on Win16/Win32 > APIs from the Wine/ReactOS Projects, and the X11 API from Xorg, then > that would make it extremely flexible. I am thinking, looking at Nano-X will give me a couple of options, xwindows integration with the win libs (easier app porting etc) or at the very least a good place to learn. I am not 100% sure but I am nearly confident that Window's window managers follow a different model than xwindows. Windows 3.1 compliance is the most important thing anything else is will be a bi product of what I use.
