Somebody may have tweaked existing SVGA drivers into generic VESA.
I am not aware of anything 3d accelerated in Windows 3 anyways...

Windows 3.11 and Windows 9x seem to be the closest thing to a 32 bit DOS
environment that I know of. I agree that creating a "32 bit dos" would
be awkward. Heck, 20 bit memory addressing is awkward, isn't it?
If you need to run dos games or want to run a Wordprocessor like
Wordperfect on an old

You do realize that it is kind of 'out of touch with the modern
Hi!
> FreeDOS is "only" 16bit
Of course that only refers to address space (max 1.1 MB)
and not to computation width. Your software can do any
calculations with 32, 64, 80 or 128 bits that it likes,
using 386+ registers or the FPU but not 64bit long mode.

32bit user programs tend to be available already in the form of
protected mode software, using one of the various DOS Ex
In the recent threads there have been many mentions to the fact that
FreeDOS is "only" 16bit (of course, that is what it is meant to be)
and that it is out of touch with the modern computing world.
I was wondering what would it take to upgrade FreeDOS to 32bit,
whether it would be worth and whethe
