Call it Janus or Snowball after the code names for Windows 3..0/3.11

I have been doing research on this and I am considering doing this.

I got Windows 3.1 running on Freedos using win /s,
the Msdos 6.2x himem.sys and the MSDOS 6.2x emm386.exe.
I also found out that share from freedos needs to be
loaded low.
Great, it ran. Trouble is, my mouse is on com4 and there
are no windows drivers for a logitech mouse on com4. Argh!

You can use FBEdit to write and debug your code,
and then there are at least 4 users whom have written GUI's in FreeBasic.
And then there is CGUI written in C which is ported to FB.
These are available for download by visiting

If I don't load emm386.exe, freedos version, I get an error that I
have an unsupported dos version.
If I try loading windows 3.1 in standard mode, I get an error that
there isn't enough extended memory.
Uge!

If I want to delete/overwrite files from a script(batch), then either way,

Has anyone ever considered an open source equivalent to windows 3.11?
Compatible like Reactos is compatible? At least on the surface, enough

FreeBasic
1) Does it have GUI?
2) Will it run QuickBasic programs?

Are there any alternatives for FreeDos, Or would that be FreeBasic

Couldn't there be a optional syncfat program that one could run at the
boot of freedos, and before shut down?
Could synchronize the FreeDos LFN and the M$ Dos storages mediums. It
may not,since isn't live access, violate

It might mean you use an old kernel which leaves

The Int21.2A (Get system time) description says the year is below 2100 as
you said. The DOS file date format can store years from 1980 up to 2107.

I think I'm using the stable kernel instead of the
unstable one.
I get an error that says essentially unload the
protected mode software and try again when windows
tries to start.
Are people taking out the smartdrive stuff or
simply adding a menu entry and if someone wants
windows loading it
