Windows 95 itself!! Just think! If Windows > 9x is a DOS program.. then anything you run on Windows... <EG> Hey, this is BRILLIANT! I never realized it before, but Linux and NetWare are ALSO DOS programs. I never knew DOS could do all this! Lessee: NetWare v3-4 uses a DOS partition to bootstrap, and I can launch Linux from DOS using loadlin. I see the DOS screens boot up and everything. It's REALLY DOS doing all the work. COOL! I just have to wonder why someone doesn't just turn on all those cool capabilities using what must be some undocumented features. You know, stuff like 32-bit memory access, multi-tasking, native support for long file names and all that. Boy, not bad for something that fits on a single floppy, eh? Keep up the good work guys. Thinking outside the box like this will make sure that efforts of those keeping minimalist hardware support alive are taken seriously.
