I know what you are trying to suggest - RebolOS :-) Well, DOS is 16bit 
and so it will not be ported. You have to choose another underlying core 
technology ....

Yes, QNX is imo the most viable of all alternatives currently. I wonder 
why View exists for Amiga for e.g., if there really is no market, while 
QNX is being left behind. As for other alternatives, as AtheOS, - I 
would wait. Porting Rebol to new platform surely takes some resources, 
so RT needs to be carefull here. AtheOS is not proven/well established 
system yet imo, while QNX seems to be one of the top Rtos solutions 
around ...

Yes, I was joking at RT already, stating that RT developed nice toy for 
themselves, so they code in Rebol, rathet than in C :-) The best 
scenariou would be of course, if all RT team could implement/develop 
further technology itself, while skilled Rebollers could work under 
contract for RT, to produce reblets ....
