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
For hard-core application programming where you need to use a few BIOS
and DOS interrupts I like to use C and C++ (carefully). C gives you a
tremendous amount of control and flexibility.
My two favorite compilers are:

Kolibri OS has a DOS emulator: Dosbox.

You do realize that it is kind of 'out of touch with the modern

Kenny,
Try this for some basic education on DOS and packet drivers:

That page is terribly inadequate - it doesn't discuss anything other
than packet drivers. But that is what you are looking for at the moment.

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
