Of course not. It wants to be a MS-DOS replacement. The initial question
wasn't to transform FreeDOS into a GUI magically but to create a new
project for a GUI running on FreeDOS.

Yes, but the project was formulated with a clear object: Create a free
replacement for MS-DOS.
And take 10+ years to get it !!!
Create a free replacement for a Win9x system is a bigger objective,
and is different enough to be a different project.

That sounds interesting. Completely implausible, but interesting. In what

What are you talking about? ReactOS is not about Windows Me

Yes, it seems you don't understand it, or at least not the same way I do.
I don't see where he mentioned Windows Me at all.

Realistically, writing a Windows 9x replacement for FreeDOS would take
years, probably more than 2 or 3 because developers are hard to find
and it's a huge project, probably (correct me if I'm

Calling a project garbage is quite severe. If it's unusable for you or
your goals, just indicate so but don't dismiss other people's efforts
into getting something nice off
There is no reason for an MSDOS Windows replacement to be MSDOS
compatible.
Except to run on MS-DOS as well. As said, it's Microsoft's method to write
programs such that they only run with other Microsoft programs although
there's no good reason why they shouldn't run with other vendor's

I think you're right on that. For example, Japheth writes on his site that

Theoretically, freedos could support an open source replacement.
And in my opinion, the only involvement FreeDOS should have is to
ensure that any such open source project would have access to whatever
they need to run, just like any other DOS application. That is, it
should be a separate
Hi guys,
I agree here. A new GUI should not run exclusively on FreeDOS...

information about DOS, while not tying the program to FreeDOS...
I would recommend to program your GUI in a way which makes in run

Well, I'm not sure that I want to put anything quite like this on the
